Tangential Terrains
Cormac McCarthy's Geoaesthetics"In Tangential Terrains, Heine shows that she is an extraordinarily adept close reader, and her writing contains a number of excellent, fine-grained analyses that manage to shed new light on even some of the most canonized passages in Blood Meridian. Moreover, her extensive archival work provides eye-opening insights into McCarthy's methods of composition." —Tore Rye Andersen, associate professor of comparative literature, Aarhus University, Denmark, author of Planetary Pynchon: History, Modernity, and the Anthropocene "The problem of geoaesthetics is explored in Tangential Terrains in meticulous individual analyses and close readings. Heine combines an extremely high theoretical level with precise philological work. If there is to be anything like an inorganic turn in literary studies in the near future, this book will play a major role in it." —Wolfgang Hottner, associate professor in comparative literature, University of Bergen, Norway, author of Crystallizations: Aesthetics and Poetics of the Inorganic in the late 18th Century

The novel becomes both a stirring attempt to inhabit other consciousnesses and a wry demonstration of the limits of our own language and empathy. ’
