STELLA MARIS

Alicia Western is the following: Twenty years old. A brilliant mathematician at the University of Chicago. And a paranoid schizophrenic who does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby.

Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia’s psychiatric sessions, Cormac McCarthy's `Stella Maris` is a profoundly moving companion to `The Passenger`. It is a powerful enquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and life itself by one of America’s finest writers.
