Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who in prose both dense and brittle took readers from the southern Appalachians to the desert Southwest in such novels as “The Road,” and “All the Pretty Horses,” died Tuesday. He was 89. MORE:
McCarthy died of natural causes in Santa Fe, New Mexico, publisher Alfred A. Knopf said.
“The Road,” his stark tale of a father and son who roam a ravaged landscape, brought him his widest audience and highest acclaim. It won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and was selected by Winfrey for her book club. In his Winfrey interview, McCarthy said that while typically he didn't know what generates the ideas for his books, he could trace “The Road” to a trip he took with his young son to El Paso, Texas, early in the decade.
In 2022, Knopf made the startling announcement that it would release McCarthy's first work in more than 15 years, a pair of connected novels he had referred to in the past: “The Passenger” and “Stella Maris,” narratives on a pair of mutually obsessed siblings and the legacy of their father, a physicist who had worked on atomic technology. “Stella Maris” was notable, in part, because it centered on a female character, an acknowledged weakness of McCarthy’s.
His “Border Trilogy” books were set in the Southwest along the border with Mexico: “All the Pretty Horses” — a National Book Award winner that was turned into a feature film; “The Crossing” , and “Cities of the Plain” .
