The Passenger Summary

“The Passenger” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later.1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flight bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul. Traversing the American South, from the garrulous barrooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.

Brief Summary The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy

It raises the question, “how did he write it.” I don’t think that he is a physicist. I’ve got to think the text is accurate. Did he school himself sufficiently in particle physics to pen the dialogue?He also frequently has many pages of back-and-forth dialogue (excellently written) that ultimately becomes confusing when trying to figure out which character is speaking.The story follows a character named Bobby Western, something of a loner/wanderer who stumbles across something that places him in great danger. A second thread deals with his sister, Alicia, a paranoid schizophrenic. McCarthy’s accounts of her hallucinations are masterful.In any event, Bobby is on the run, from whom and from what is never fully explained. His father was a contemporary of Oppenheimer and this is touched upon from time to time. There is an absolutely brilliant conversation concerning the Kennedy assassination.
