"Opening in England at the turn of the twentieth century, C is the story of a boy named Serge Carrefax, whose father spends his time experimenting with wireless communication while running a school for deaf children. Serge grows up amid the noise and silence with his brilliant but troubled older sister, Sophie: an intense sibling relationship that stays with him as he heads off into an equally troubled larger world. After a fling with a nurse at a Bohemian spa, Serge serves in World War I as a radio operator for reconnaissance planes. When his plane is shot down, Serge is taken to a German prison camp, from which he escapes. Back in London, he's recruited for a mission to Cairo on behalf of the shadowy Empire Wireless Chain. All of which eventually carries Serge to a fitful, and perhaps fateful, climax at the bottom of an Egyptian tomb..."--Jacket.… (más)

The first third seemed pretty good, but then repetition, empty "symbols", routine postmodernism. A letdown. ( )

This was sort of like Pynchon (and specifically Gravity's Rainbow, with hints of V) lite. For the small investment the book required, it was by and large pretty worth it, neither as difficult and ambitious nor as baffling and frustrating as Pynchon. ( )

Overall a good read. It took a while to get going and sometimes went into detailed descriptions of things that were, to me, relatively unimportant to the plot. There were some interesting themes, particularly the constant thread of the geometric and mathematical connectedness of everything.
The plastic dustjacket of the book itself was an unnecessary gimmick and, worse, every time I opened it there was a cracking sound from the spine, as if all the pages were about to fall out! ( )

Certainly McCarthy's least interesting novel to date with vapid overly verbose prose and confusing thematic imagery resulting in a book that is a jumbled mess in every possible way. His other books explore this book's themes better and contain imagery that actually feels like it belongs to the novel and not just a literary obligation. ( )

"The near-Joycean scale and density of all this is truly impressive, as is McCarthy's ability to fold it into a cleanly constructed narrative, which has its boring stretches but also moments of humour and weird beauty."

C may not put the novel itself onto some new path, but it is a work of outstanding originality and ambition; indeed, its ambition is so encompassing that the hypothetical existence of a next McCarthy novel would seem almost like a gainsaying of this one.
