“Whales and Men" and Its Echoes in the Border Trilogy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter focuses on Cormac McCarthy’s unpublished screenplay “Whales and Men” and its influence on his later published works, especially the Border Trilogy. McCarthy worked on “Whales and Men” in the 1980s, in a period of transition from the South to the West. While having rather straightforward environmental agenda, “Whales and Men” shows many similarities to the attitude towards nature and animals present in the Border Trilogy and The Crossing in particular. This chapter approaches “Whales and Men” and other archival material as a valuable source of information on the development of McCarthy’s environmental and ethical concerns that play an important role both in his earlier and later works. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate how reoccurring images and topics directly connect “Whales and Men” to the Border Trilogy and thus to establish “Whales and Men” as a crucial research material for understanding McCarthy’s approach to nature.
