About this listen
'A drought-busting, brain-vexing double act’ – Guardian
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.
‘Cormac McCarthy was such a virtuoso, his language was so rich and new . . . his books were terrifying and absolute. His sentences were astonishing.’ - Anne Enright
Critic reviews
'It's an uncanny, unsettling dream, tuned into the static of the universe' – New York Times
Touches the deepest of the humanity

The audiobook really addresses these misgivings and truly brings the dialogue and emotion to life: the rapport between Cohen and Alicia is really evocative thanks to the masterful performances of Julia Whelan and Edoardo Ballerini and gives the content an almost voyeuristic quality.
Exceptional performance by both actors

In terms of the narration and production, I can't think of a better audiobook. Both narrators are fantastic. I also loved how the ending was punctuated with a piece of music, that was significant to the protagonist and mentioned earlier in the book - Really nice touch.
I cannot recommend this enough, though it absolutely is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea - but if it sounds like yours, I think you'll really like it.
Captivating
