Style
Explanation and Analysis:

McCarthy's writing style is unconventional, with prose that is simultaneously sparse yet expansive. McCarthy makes use of a seemingly objective, omniscient third person perspective. The third person perspective contributes to the realism of the novel, with his descriptions of characters and their actions as matter-of-fact as his descriptions of landscapes.
