NEXT TITLE Blood and time: Cormac McCarthy and the twilight of the West TYPE Review BY Roger D. Hodge PUBLISHED February 2006 VIEW PAGES PDF That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees —Those dying generations—at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unaging intellect. —William Butler Yeats, “Sailing to Byzantium” Cormac McCarthy's novels are messages from lost worlds, artifacts of vanished histories to which his readers by some necromancy are made privy. His characters are solitaries, fugitives from the present who go forth into the rotten holdings of the vanquished in search of something they cannot name. McCarthy's narrative voice bespeaks a master of the trade, a strange traveler from a distant land who has taken it upon himself to keep a drowsy emperor awake by singing of what is past, passing, or to come.

63. A Review Of The Road By Cormac McCarthy But among all of these fine works and dozens more I’ve read, none compares, holds a candle to or rings such gloomy, bleak chords as does cormac mccarthy’s http://calitreview.com/2007/06/10/the-road-by-cormac-mccarthy/

California Literary Review Home Fiction Reviews Non-Fiction Reviews ... Contact The Road by Cormac McCarthy by John Holt June 10th, 2007 The Road by Cormac McCarthy Knopf, 241 pp. CLR Rating: The Road – Through a Shattered Looking Glass Darkly Post apocalyptic novels are a dark, bleak and often illuminating genre that are highlighted by titles that include The Day of the Triffids A Canticle for Leibowitz Eternity Road On The Beach and Galapagos . J.G. Ballard carved out a large section of this wasted landscape with The Crystal World The Drowning World The Burning World and The Wind From Nowhere . But among all of these fine works and dozens more I’ve read, none compares, holds a candle to or rings such gloomy, bleak chords as does Cormac McCarthy’s The Road ; all accomplished with an economy of words that is beautiful in its execution. The story follows a father and son as the they wander, stagger, and grope their way through a burned over, scarred America. Little moves within this incinerated landscape that is smothered in ash driven by a cold wind. The snow is grey. Rivers run thickly clogged with ash and soot. The trees are black skeletons. The pair is heading for the Eastern coast with little hope of finding anything. Anything. Period. They have nothing save a pistol and a handful of bullets to defend themselves against the bands of ravenous ghouls who maraud the roads and heat-buckled Interstates like bizarre, merciless highwaymen. And they have the ragged clothes they’re wearing and a cart of scavenged food. And they have themselves.

Wranglers file for bankruptcy protection No, the famously reclusive author of "The Road" and "All the Pretty Horses" isn't planning to do a meet and greet at BookPeople anytime soon. He has, though, decided to sell his archives to the Southwestern Writers Collection at Texas State University-San Marcos. The university announced Thursday that it had purchased the archives for $2 million, spokesman Jayme Blaschke said. McCarthy, 74, who lived in El Paso and now lives in New Mexico, has been widely hailed for his bleak, violence-filled novels, many of which are set in the Southwest, along the U.S.-Mexico border. His 2006 novel "The Road" won a Pulitzer Prize, and his 2005 novel "No Country for Old Men" was the basis for a recent Coen brothers movie that is considered an Oscar contender for best picture.

What this connection between versions provides instead is an opportunity for readers to divorce themselves from the trappings of plot and immerse themselves in the rich and meaningful prose that Cormac McCarthy uses to create the glorious, sweeping Texan vistas and dark, claustrophobic encounters between life and death.

McCarthy's editor there was Albert Erskine, William Faulkner's longtime editor. The Orchard Keeper is set in a small, remote community in rural Tennessee in the years between the two world wars. It tells of John Wesley Rattner, a young boy, and Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger who, unbeknownst to either of them, has killed the boy's father. Together with Rattner's uncle Ather, who belongs to a former age in his communion with nature and his stoic independence, they enact a drama that seems born of the land itself. All three are heroes of an intense and compelling celebration of values lost to time and industrialization. Before publication, McCarthy received a traveling fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which he used to travel to Ireland. In 1966 he also received the Rockefeller Foundation Grant, with which he continued to tour Europe, settling on the island of Ibiza.

Australian director John Hilcoat ( The Proposition ) and screenwriter Joe Penhall ( Enduring Love ) will have a much harder time adapting McCarthy than the Coen brothers did with No Country: The Road is an amazing, superlative book, but it is also largely plotless and relentlessly grim. As recently as November, it looked like the movie was never going to get made
