With his spare, haunting prose and unblinking eye for the evil that men do, Cormac McCarthy is one of our most gifted, acclaimed and uncompromising writers. Born in Rhode Island, raised in Tennessee, and currently living in New Mexico, his work is redolent of America?s harshest physical and moral landscapes, from the violent Western masterpiece Blood Meridien, named one of the greatest books of the late 20th century by Time and The New York Times; to the rapturous All the Pretty Horses, winner of the National Book Award; to the tense crime thriller No Country for Old Men, the basis for the Oscar-winning film; to his Pulitzer Prize-winning, post-apocalyptic novel The Road, selected by Oprah Winfrey for her book club.
