Harrisonburg Unitarian Universalists - Announcements & Dialog

No Country for Old Men

December 2, 2007 by Judith Hollowood

Now that this book has been made into a movie, I want to put up a word about it. Although in some senses it is a crime story, it is constructed as a horror story. That is: From the first choice the protagonist makes — he takes a satchel of money from the scene of a massacre that he comes across while hunting — he is stalked by an inexorable doom. It is an unnerving tale. I cannot recommend it, for it is desperately violent, but if you write or appreciate good writing, you may want to see how this kind of strong effect is created. Or you may just enjoy the thrill. I did.

Harrisonburg Unitarian Universalists

Welcoming Congregation chalice logo. We are a Welcoming Congregation

We are a lay-led, religious community offering a unique spiritual and moral witness in the Shenandoah Valley. We meet each Sunday in the historic Dale Enterprise School House. Most of our services have a community dialogue or "talk back" after the service. Each of our services is followed by coffee in our "Community Cafe." Quite often the dialogue will carry over to the community cafe.
