The novels of the American writer Cormac McCarthy received a number of literary awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. His works adapted to film include All the Pretty Horses, The Road, and No Country for Old Men - the latter film receiving four Academy Awards, including the award for Best Picture. He died in June 2023, in New Mexico.
A powerful and talented writer, able to elicit compassion for his
protagonist however terrible his action.
*The Sunday Times*
A reading experience so impressive, so 'new', so clearly well made
that it seems almost to defy the easy aesthetic categories . . .
Accomplished in rare, spare, precise yet poetic prose.
*New Republic*
McCarthy charts the terrible decline of Lester Ballard with
passion, tenderness, eloquence, and a humour which, at its best, is
attuned perfectly to the bitter wryness of the South.
