Extractions: Help Search: Cormac McCarthy He then returned to the University of Tennessee and found himself slowly gravitating towards fiction writing. After publishing two stories in the The Phoenix, the campus literary magazine, he won an Ingram-Merrill Foundation grant for creative writing in both 1959 and 1960. Convinced of his potential for success, he left The University of Tennessee in 1960 to pursue his writing career. After marrying and fathering a son, he moved to Chicago and became an auto mechanic to support himself while he worked on his first novel. Soon after, he returned to Tennessee with his wife, but the marriage dissolved. His personal troubles certainly didn't distract from his work ? he published his debut in 1965, The Orchard Keeper, and was recognized with the William Faulkner Award. McCarthy never suffered from a lack of critical success or support. In 1965, he won an American Academy of Arts and Letters traveling fellowship to Europe and boarded an ocean liner to Ireland. He met Anne Dulsie on this trip, who he married in England in 1966. That same year, he was awarded a Rockefeller Foundation grant, allowing him to tour Europe with his wife. After traveling through England, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain, the McCarthys settled in Ibiza so Cormac could finish revising his second novel, Outer Dark. In what seemed like a routine, McCarthy won another fellowship in 1969 ? this time, the Guggenheim. He moved with his wife to Louisville, Tennessee where he fully renovated a barn into a home while leisurely working on his third novel, Child of God. In 1976, McCarthy separated from Dulsie and moved to El Paso, Texas. Perhaps unsettled by the changes in his life, McCarthy returned to the familiarity of his creative nemesis ? Suttee, a manuscript with which he had been struggling for twenty years. His perseverance was rewarded in 1979 ? critics hailed the book as his finest (some argue that he never surpassed it) and he was awarded the prestigious MacArthur Foundation Grant.

Extractions: No, not zombies, though McCarthy echoes the desperation of classic zombie movies. In his horrific view of the future, the survivors of the disaster fear each other, often banding together as roving packs of ghoulish cannibals. Perhaps the most frightening aspect about the book is that, unlike zombie lit, this seems like an unbearably realistic depiction of the future.

Extractions: Why You Should Read Cormac McCarthy If you're a horror fan, and you're not reading Cormac McCarthy, you're missing out. Why? Because McCarthy's Blood Meridian is up there as just about the best horror novel (not book: novel ) of all time, and his Child of God is also very good. Now, horror stories are a different matter. Indeed, I agree with David G. Hartwell in his introduction to The Dark Descent, that the short story is the main artistic medium for horror, and that the horror novel is, at best, an experimental and usually flawed form. But if you're willing to venture outside the genre itself, and go into mainstream/ literary fiction, you'll find that Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian is successful not only as profoundly disturbing horror fiction, but also as a completely realized novel. I plan to write more in this space about Cormac McCarthy, but for right now, let me tease your interest with a sample quotation from Blood Meridian. This is from a scene of people found murdered in a church, in an arid town in northern Mexico: There were no pews in the church and the stone floor was heaped with the scalped and naked and partly eaten bodies of some forty souls who'd barricaded themselves in this house of God against the heathen . . . The murdered lay in a great pool of their communal blood. It had set up into a sort of pudding crossed everywhere with the tracks of wolves or dogs and along the edges it had dried and cracked into a burgundy ceramic. Blood lay in dark tongues on the floor and blood grouted the flagstones and ran in the vestiblue where the stones were cupped from the feet of the faithful and their fathers before them and it had threaded its way down the steps and dripped from the stones among the dark red tracks of the scavengers.

And more than that, McCarthy is legendarily reclusive, previously granting only one substantive interview in his career, with the New York Times in 1992 . He had certainly never appeared on television before. On yesterday's show, McCarthy wasn't as gnomically apocalyptic as

Here's more Story centers on a man who embarks on a nightmarish road trip after a nuclear explosion in an attempt to transport his son to safety while fending off cannibals. Theron, who will play the wife of Mortensen's character, will be seen mostly in flashback. Although the role is small, Theron joined the project because she's a big fan of the book. I haven't read the book â yet! â but I know from my recent Buzzworthy challenge that some of you are fans of this McCarthy work. Can you see these casting picks working for the film?

Extractions: awards works more information BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY Charles McCarthy, Jr., better known to readers as Cormac McCarthy, is frequently compared with such Southern-based writers as William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, and Flannery O'Connor. In a Dictionary of Literary Biography essay, Dianne L. Cox stated that McCarthy's work has in common with that of the others "a rustic and sometimes dark humor, intense characters, and violent plots; [he] shares as well their development of universal themes within a highly particularized fictional world, their seriousness of vision, and their vigorous exploration of the English language." "His characters are often outcastsdestitutes or criminals, or both," wrote Richard B. Woodward in the New York Times . "Death, which announces itself often, reaches down from the open sky, abruptly, with a slashed throat or a bullet in the face. The abyss opens up at any misstep." McCarthy's early novels were often set in eastern Tennessee, while his later work focuses on the American Southwest. He has often been singled out for his individual prose stylebeautifully lyrical yet spare, eschewing commas and totally stripped of quotation marks. This style has been a source of complaint for some reviewers; in a New York Times review of McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses , for example, critic Herbert Mitgang lamented: "This reader was put off at first by the author's all too writerly writing. His joined words, without hyphenation, and his unpunctuated, breathless sentences, call too much attention to themselves." Kurt Tidmore contended in the

Extractions: The Night Eagle Fan Club presents..... While Cormac is not, as often queried, the alter ego of the New York Times Bestselling author ("All the Pretty Horses," etc.), his background in literature, his rural roots, and his knack for penning a great line would make some comparisons easy to draw, and since we've never heard tell of whether or not the Kentucky born novelist can sing, we'll have to leave the contest open. In his own college years, Cormac studied literature and music, and took a liking to the works of James Joyce and Mississippian John Hurt. He spent most of his time reading, playing guitar, and working in the local mills to pay for school. Folk-music giant Bill Morrissey was his college roommate, helping encourage Cormac to make his music more public. A stint of shared local gigs and storytelling marathons ensued.Following college was a trip out west, where Cormac worked at an array of jobs including construction worker, truck driver, street singer, and migrant worker. These rough edges of life are seen in the lyrical magic of his extraordinary music. Cormac writes and sings of a heartfelt, sometimes funny, sometimes desperate, sometimes glorious world of common people, struggles, hope, relationships, madness, and love. He sings the poetry of real life with a silky baritone and just enough grit. "I try to get reality and fantasy to meet in some place," he explains. "A lot of things that happen are so strange that no one would believe me." Laura Pope adds," "McCarthy brings us stories and memories, love songs and humor, and a huge plate of well woven music."

But this is symptomatic of a recurring pattern with books of this sort. The tremendous creativity on display in the world of speculative fiction is masked by a conspiracy of book stores and publishing houses to keep high quality works out of the genre categories. In previous works, Cormac McCarthy has depicted gritty, unforgiving landscapes, usually located in the American Southwest and across the border in Mexico. His tales are marked by conflict and violence. McCarthy is to American fiction what Sam Peckinpah is to Hollywood film. His heroes rarely triumph, they struggling merely to survive. But McCarthy has never painted a bleaker picture than in The Road . The novel opens in the aftermath of an apocalypse. Details are never provided, but some event of mass destruction has left behind a nuclear winter. Cities are demolished, food supply is scanty, and roving gangs of marauders terrorize the isolated survivors.

Extractions: var baseDir = '/'; Blarney Castle, as viewed by the visitor today, is the third to have been erected on this site. The first building in the tenth century was a wooden structure. Around 1210 A.D. this was replaced by a stone structure which had the entrance some twenty feet above the ground on the north face. This building was demolished for foundations. In 1446 the third castle was built by Dermot McCarthy, King of Munster of which the keep still remains standing. The lower walls are fifteen feet, built with an angle tower by the McCarthys of Muskerry. It was subsequently occupied at one time by Cormac McCarthy, King of Munster, who is said to have supplied four thousand men from Munster to supplement the forces of Robert the Bruce at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Legend has it that the latter king gave half of the Stone of Scone to McCarthy in gratitude. This, now known as the Blarney Stone, was incorporated in the battlements where it can now be kissed. The Earl of Leicester was commanded by Queen Elizabeth I to take possession of the castle. Whenever he endeavoured to negotiate the matter McCarthy always suggested a banquet or some other form of delay, so that when the queen asked for progress reports a long missive was sent, at the end of which the castle remained untaken. The queen was said to be so irritated that she remarked that the earl's reports were all 'Blarney'.
