The Cormac McCarthy Society Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island on July 20, 1933. He is the third of six children (the eldest son) born to Charles Joseph and Gladys Christina McGrail McCarthy (he has two brothers and three sisters). He was originally named Charles (after his father), but he renamed himself Cormac after the Irish King (another source says that McCarthy's family was responsible for legally changing his name to the Gaelic equivalent of "son of Charles"). In 1937, when he was four, the family moved to Knoxville, and his father became a lawyer for the Tennessee Valley Authority (legal staff 1934-67; chief counsel 1958-67). In 1967, the McCarthys moved from Knoxville to Washington, D.C., where Charles was the principal attorney in a law firm until his retirement. Cormac was raised Roman Catholic. He attended Catholic High School in Knoxville, then went to the University of Tennessee in 1951-52. His major: liberal arts. McCarthy joined the U.S. Air Force in 1953; he served four years, spending two of them stationed in Alaska, where he hosted a radio show. In 1957-60, McCarthy returned to the university, where he published two stories in the student literary magazine, The Phoenix, calling himself C. J. McCarthy, Jr. While at the university, he won the Ingram-Merrill Award for creative writing in 1959 and 1960. During this period he published his first two short stories: "Wake for Susan" by C. J. McCarthy, Jr. appeared in

Cormac McCarthy | Cities Of The Plain
Highlights the novels of The Border Trilogy, especially Cities of the Plain. Bibliography of publications, blurbs, excerpts, and ordering.
http://www.randomhouse.com/features/cormac

Extractions: In this final volume of The Border Trilogy two men marked by the boyhood adventures of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together, in the still point between their vivid pasts and uncertain futures, to confront a country changing or already changed beyond recognition. Bound by nature to horses and cattle and range, these two discover that ranchlife domesticity is compromised, for them and the men they work with, by a geometry of loss afflicting old and young alike, those who have survived it and anyone about to try. And what draws one of them across the border again and again, what would bind "those disparate but fragile worlds," is a girl seized by ill fortune, and a love as dangerous as it is inevitable. This story of friendship and passion is enfolded in a narrative replete with character and place and eventa blind musician, a marauding pack of dogs, curio shops and ancient petroglyphs, a precocious shoe-shine boy, trail drives from the century before, midnight on the highwayand with landforms and wildlife and horses and men, most of all men and the women they love and mourn, men and their persistence and memories and dreams. With the terrible beauty of Cities of the Plain with its magisterial prose, humor both wry and out-right, fierce conviction and unwavering humanityCormac McCarthy has completed a landmark of our literature and times, an epic that reaches from tales of the old west, the world past, into the new millennium, the world to come.

Extractions: How to subscribe to Booklist Magazine McCarthy, Cormac. Cities of the Plain. May 1998. 289p. Knopf, $24 (0-679-42390-7). Some critic has said that the novels that form McCarthy's Border Trilogy are just cowboy stories, westerns; but, then, some could say Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude is just historical fiction. One thing is certain: the Border Trilogy is not formulaic fiction. Cities is the last in the trilogy, preceded by All the Pretty Horses (1992) and The Crossing (1994). In Cities , McCarthy sets out the stories that finalize the country's break with the past, with those traditions that gave life purpose and direction, and the major characters attempt to resolve issues still vital to their intensely lived lives. John Grady Cole, whose entanglement with fate began in Pretty Horses , is not quite sure of his manhood and still mystified by his parents' disengagement. Billy Parham, who in The Crossing rode into Mexico with his brother, Boyd, to settle a score and claim some horses and rode out alone, is a drifter on the plain. In the fall of 1952, the two work together on a New Mexico ranch, where life has a rhythm and is gratifying despite the threat of a takeover by the U.S. military. Threat aside, the steady transformation of society supplies the pressure that sends the men repeatedly across the Mexican border in their leisure time. This book has the kind of rugged protagonists men will identify with; for women, it sparkles and fairly shimmers with the kind of man's talk that women find amusing. In an epilogue, McCarthy quests after the elusive meaning of life, tearing off a page from Beckett's

The study of McCarthy's work is still in its infancy, and the depth and complexity of the writing itself and the issues it raises demand multiple perspectives and the sharing of ideas in a forum such as this one.

McCarthy incluso aprendió español para darle autenticidad al libro. En 1992, Cormac McCarthy publicó Todos los caballos bellos , el primer volumen de su trilogía, el cual se convirtió en una sensación ganando el aplauso de la crítica y un gran número de lectores.

Extractions: "They stood in the doorway and stomped the rain from their boots and swung their hats and wiped the water from their faces. Out in the streets the rain slashed through the standing water driving the gaudy red and green colors of the neon signs to wander and seethe..." Thus begins Brad Pitt's throaty, near whispered telling of Cormac McCarthy's Cities of the Plain , the final installment of the Border Trilogy, which includes All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing . Pitt captures the essence of young John Grady, a pensive cowboy and brilliant horseman working a ranch in southeastern Texas in the early 1950s. Pitt glides smoothly from one character to another with subtle changes in voice and accent (although you'd never peg him as a fluent Spanish speaker); his performance gives enough to understand the differences in personality without ever becoming cute or obnoxious. On the ranch, John Grady joins up with Billy Parham, and the two form an abiding friendship. Though Parham is much more a realist, he finds himself drawn further into Grady's dreams, namely a beautiful teenaged Mexican whore whom John Grady is determined to release from bondage and to marry. Through physical injuries, personal trauma, and many dangerous trips across the Mexican border, the two young men struggle to do what they think will make things right. A full cast of cowboys, landowners, barkeeps, pimps, and desperate whores set the stage for the final curtain call on the American West. (

Extractions: The World's Largest Literary Cafe: Carolinanavy.com Posted by Alexander Iwanow on January 28, 19100 at 10:02:00: The SF writer William Gibson went into a profound literary slump after *The Difference Engine*, not knowing where to go with his stylized extrapolations. His spirit was rehabilitated by an encounter with McCarthy's "Suttree", which changed everything for him, exposing him to a whole new language, "like reading Ballard or Joyce for the first time." (And that's why Rydell from *Virtual Light* is from Knoxville.) Gibson's friend and colleague Jack Womack admits a similar debt to McCarthy's post-Faulknerian vernacular, which shows in the liquid dynamism of his Dryco sequence of novels (*Heathern* *Random Acts...* *Elvissey* et al.).

Extractions: His sixth novel, 'All The Pretty Horses' (1992), brought him the fame and literary recognition that he deserved and it was hailed as 'one of the most important pieces of American writing of our time'. The second novel in the 'Border Trilogy', 'The Crossing' (1994) is now also an international bestseller, and the third, 'Cities of the Plain', was published in June 1998. His work has been compared to that of Herman Melville, John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway - what William Faulkner did for Missippi, McCarthy does for Tennessee. His other novels are 'The Orchard Keeper', 'Outer Dark', 'Child of God', 'Suttree' and 'Blood Meridian'.
