The Passenger,<\/em> by Cormac McCarthy<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Knopf<\/p>\n

<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

The reclusive author’s two new interconnected novels \u2014 being released on Oct. 25 and Dec. 6, respectively \u2014 are hard to categorize.<\/p>\n

the first bookThe Passenger<\/em>, opens with a mysterious plane crash at sea that’s searched by a neurotic salvage diver who’s obsessed with his sister. The entire second book, Stella Maris<\/em>consists of erudite conversations between that sister, who happens to be a mathematical genius, and a therapist in the psychiatric hospital where she’s committed herself.<\/p>\n

By all accounts, McCarthy has been working on them for at least four decades.<\/p>\n

“Eight years ago, it was so cloak-and-dagger that we were working on these books because McCarthy fans are rabid and any whiff of there being new books is going to be huge news,” says Jenny Jackson, executive editor at Knopf, who began working with him in secret in 2014. “We’d walk down the hall and hand off manuscripts in person. And I wasn’t telling anyone what we were working on.”<\/p>\n
