ResoluteReader One man's odyssey through the world of books Wednesday, January 17, 2007 In these few words, the total collapse of human society are summed up. Coca Cola's global brand, that symbol of capitalism, the logo known from Alaska to Australia, Russia to South Africa, is forgotten and has become the stuff of dreams. Cormac McCarthy has created a terrible world. Or at least he has understood how terrible the world could be. Wisely he avoids ruining the book by speculating on what caused the terrible collapse of society. Instead we consider the minutae of the lives of those struggling to survive on a planet where nothing grows, most food has long ago been looted, and in small pockets, slavery, cannibalism and murder are daily realities.

by Don Williams NMW Features Issue 14 Cormac McCarthy Crosses the Great Divide Cormac McCarthy as Photographed by Marion Ettlinger. All the Pretty Horses With All the Pretty Horses , McCarthy achieved that marriage of popular success and critical acclaim that (you can bet the ranch, pardner) some writers would kill for. Critics compared the novel to Huckleberry Finn But a strange disquiet set in among some of McCarthy's early devotees. Take his old friend, Leslie Garrett, who was dying of cancer when McCarthy's most popular book appeared. Garrett, the author of two dark and sombre novels, The Beasts and In the Country of Desire All the Pretty Horses New York Times The publication in 1994 of McCarthy's play, The Stonemason (Ecco Press) and his sprawling novel, The Crossing (Knopf) seemed to crystallize a split in his body of work and in the literary establishment's reaction to it . The Stonemason is a brief, complex drama in which McCarthy for the first time displays real human affection and character motivation. Oddly, it's set among members of an afro-American family. The closet drama about a young man coming to terms with his largely absent father garnered little attention. The Crossing was another matter. Some were ready to bestow the Nobel Prize on McCarthy for the sprawling, epic novel. In a splashy, front-page review in the June 12, 1994

46. Corporate-casual » Blog Archive » Christmas On Cormac McCarthy’s “ Christmas on cormac mccarthy’s “The Road”. The man tucked the pistol into the waistband of his pants and looked out over the ashcovered asphalt. http://www.corporate-casual.com/2007/12/10/christmas-on-cormac-mccarthys-the-roa

The man tucked the pistol into the waistband of his pants and looked out over the ash-covered asphalt. They would have to get moving soon. He looked down at the boy, cherubic lick of hair sticking up over the damp, smelling blankets, that had been covered by a thin layer of gray snow dead ash in the night. Soon it would be dawn and he would have to wake him. Not yet. Let him sleep. They tied their shoes in plastic bags to keep out the damp. The hill-line was crested with the darkened silhouettes of what were once trees, now turned to so much burnt timber. In the flat gray waste of morning he thought of the kitchen in the half-collapsed track house on the edge of a burning town, where he and the boy had scavenged for the food, of which they’d eaten the last five days ago. He thought of the desiccated bodies he found on the second floor, their frozen rictus screams and the crushed skull of a baby, it’s head still collapsed beneath the mercy brick it’s mother had used before taking her own with the razor. He thought of that as he tried to smile for the boy. Time to go, he said. I know, the boy said. Hours on the road, flat and gray. In places it was slippery where the snow had packed and frozen. They moved slowly. Pushing the cart through the thin, gravely snow, and dead ash was difficult work, and occasionally they would hear a sound and have to rush over the razed ground to hide in a drainage ditch, careful to tip the cart and cover it with the tarpaulin to hide it from scavenging eyes. The boy shivered at his side. Thoughts of heads on pikes filled the man’s mind’s eye, barricades of stripped bodies, their flesh long since made into fuel for the warring gangs. Are we going to die? the boy asked. No, the man said. How do you know? The man said nothing.

skip to main skip to sidebar paperpools Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics (especially statistics) Friday, August 17, 2007 Mithridates has sent me the link to Cormac McCarthy's interview with Oprah Winfrey, here you have to join Oprah's book club, but membership is free. Oprah asked McCarthy about punctuation. He said at one point he had a job, he was working for someone who was writing a book that included excerpts from 18th-century writers, and he was given an assignment: Go away and fix the punctuation. So he read the texts. The writing was wonderful, he said, but the punctuation, there were semi-colons cluttering up the sentences, so he started on an essay, a piece by, it might be, Swift, and he went through and fixed the punctuation, and he gave it back to the professor who said that's just right. So he realised that punctuation was very important. He doesn't like semi-colons, never uses them. He uses periods, commas, capitalisation. Occasionally a colon, before a list of things. Now, I like 18th-century punctuation; I like 17th-century punctuation; I like 16th-century punctuation; one of the things I love about Peter Ackroyd is the way he gets the punctuation right when he writes a text that is from another century. The punctuation is part of the texture of the text, and when I read that a text has been repunctuated for modern readers I go away and find another edition of the text. I like McCarthy's punctuation in McCarthy's texts, but I would rather not have it imported into the work of Jonathan Swift. The assumption that one has the right to repunctuate a writer's texts is in fact a very dangerous one, since it leaves modern writers open to all kinds of abuse.

The world they pass through is a ghastly vision of scorched countryside and blasted cities "held by cores of blackened looters who tunneled among the ruins and crawled from the rubble white of tooth and eye carrying charred and anonymous tins of food in nylon nets like shoppers in the commissaries of hell" [p. 181]. It is a starved world, all plant and animal life dead or dying, some of the few human survivors even eating each other alive. The father and son move through the ruins searching for food and shelter, trying to keep safe from murderous, roving bands. They have only a pistol to defend themselves, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged foodand each other. Awesome in the totality of its vision

Cormac McCarthy LONDON - Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy has been awarded one of Britain's oldest literary honors for his tale of a father and son's travels through a post-apocalyptic America. The University of Edinburgh announced over the weekend that McCarthy won this year's James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction for "The Road," which has already garnered the author a Pulitzer Prize. The University of Edinburgh awards the prize annually for the best work of fiction and the best biography published during the previous year. Past winners include D.H. Lawrence, E.M.

The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy All the Pretty Horses The Crossing Cities of the Plain reviewed by Richard Seltzer, seltzer@samizdat.com www.samizdat.com What kind of man offers to share dry crackers with death? That's a question posed in the epilogue of the final novel of this trilogy a metaphysical question made both concrete and comical by the commonplace detail of dry crackers. Billy Parham is sitting by a deserted roadside in Texas talking with a stranger. He is totally destitute, starving, hot, sick, and old. He has offered his last bit of food to a random stranger, and has slipped into an allegorical frame of mind, acting and talking as if this stranger might be Death, finally ready to take him away. The stranger fields Billy's metaphysical questions with the greatest of ease, as if there was nothing out of the ordinary about them. Billy admits that he had invited the stranger over because he might be somebody he was expecting. "What does he look like?" "I don't know. I guess more and more he looks like a friend." "You thought I was death."
