About Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy, born Charles McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on July 20, 1933, and moved with his family to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1937. He is the third of six children, with three sisters and two brothers. In Knoxville, he attended Knoxville Catholic High School. His father was a successful lawyer for the Tennessee Valley Authority from 1934 to 1967.

McCarthy entered the University of Tennessee in 1951-1952 and was a liberal arts major. In 1953, he joined the United States Air Force for four years, two of which he spent in Alaska where he hosted a radio show. In 1957, he returned to the University of Tennessee. During this time in college, he published two stories in a student paper and won the Ingram-Merrill award in 1959 and 1960. In 1961, he and fellow university student Lee Holleman were married and had their son Cullen. He left school without earning a degree and moved with his family to Chicago where he wrote his first novel.

In the mid-1960s, he traveled through the United Kingdom, Southern Europe, and Ibiza, returned to Tennessee but divorced and moved to El Paso in 1976. He then married again and moved north of Santa Fe. Living for more than 25 years in Tennessee and then Texas has given McCarthy firsthand experience with the American south and southwest terrain, accent and culture.

McCarthy's first novel, The Orchard Keeper, was published by Random House in 1965. He decided to send the manuscript to Random House because "it was the only publisher he had heard of." At Random House, the manuscript found its way to Albert Erskine, who was William Faulkner's editor until Faulkner's death in 1962. Erskine continued to edit McCarthy for the next twenty years.

All the Pretty Horses

by Cormac Mccarthy

All the Pretty Horses

by: Cormac Mccarthy

The first novel "All the Pretty Horses" tells of John Grady Cole, a sixteen year old cowboy who grew up on his grandfather's ranch in west Texas. The story begins soon after the death of John Grady's grandfather, and John Grady learns that the ranch is to be sold. Faced with the prospect of moving into town, John Grady instead chooses to leave, convincing his best friend, Lacey Rawlins, to accompany him. Traveling by horseback, the pair travel southward into Mexico, where they hope to find work as cowboys. They encounter, among others, a young boy, Jimmy Blevins, whom they befriend, and a young aristocrat's daughter, Alejandra, with whom John Grady Cole falls in love.

The Crossing

by Cormac Mccarthy

The Crossing

by: Cormac Mccarthy

The second novel in the trilogy, "The Crossing," like its predecessor, All the Pretty Horses, is a coming-of-age novel set on the lands bordering the southern United States and Mexico. The plot takes place before and during the Second World War, and focuses on the life of Billy Parham, the protagonist, a teenage cowboy, his family and his younger brother Boyd. The story tells of three journeys taken from New Mexico to Mexico. It is noted for being a more melancholic novel than the first of the trilogy, without returning to the hellish bleakness of McCarthy's early novels.

Cities of the Plain

by Cormac Mccarthy

Cities of the Plain

by: Cormac McCarthy

The third novel of the trilogy "Cities of the Plain" takes place on both sides of the United States-Mexico border. The novel brings together John Grady Cole, protagonist of the first book of the trilogy, with Billy Parham, the young cowboy introduced in the second book.

The story begins in 1952 with both John Grady and Billy working together on a cattle ranch near the border cities of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. We learn of their life and work on the ranch. The owners are kind, but small cattle ranches of this kind are not thriving. Although the cowboys barely eke out their living, it is clear that John Grady and Billy love this harsh life -- close to the land, their horses, and the wild creatures that live in the desert. After a visit to a brothel in Juarez, John Grady falls in love with a fragile young prostitute, Magdalena. His destiny is to rescue her. Billy knows his younger friend is altruistic to a fault, but helps him in his mission. The brothel is run by Eduardo, a formidable adversary, and the opposite of John Grady in every way. Their meeting leads inevitably to a duel.

As in all of McCarthy's novels, there is a sorrowful end for the characters, the animals, even the place; however, in the epilogue, there is a glimmer of mercy, at least for one man.

All the Pretty Horses DVD

Cormac McCarthy Movies

All the Pretty Horses

Amazon Price: $13.49 (as of 01/09/2009)

Adapted from Cormac McCarthy's award-winning novel, All the Pretty Horses cries for epic length but runs only 112 minutes for theatrical release. Drastically shortened during a lengthy stretch between production and release, this operatic drama feels as if huge chunks are missing, and what remains are fragments of a masterpiece that might have been. Unless a more definitive version is revealed, we must settle for this faint echo of McCarthy's ambitious narrative, in which dispossessed Texas rancher John Grady Cole (Matt Damon) ventures to Mexico in 1949 to revive his fading dreams of cowboy glory. With best friend Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas), Cole's odyssey takes him from youthful idealism to rugged, often horrific, and ultimately ennobling tests of integrity.

No Country For Old Men Trailer

Miramax Films Released

Miramax Films: No Country For Old Men Trailer
Miramax Films: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is a mesmerizing new thriller from Academy Award® winning filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. Featuring a cast that includes Academy Award®-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive," "Men in Black"), Josh Brolin ("Grindhouse"), Academy Award®-nominee Javier Bardem ("The Sea Inside"), Academy Award®-nominee Woody Harrelson ("The People Vs. Larry Flynt") and Kelly Macdonald ("Trainspotting"), NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is written for the screen and directed by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, produced by Scott Rudin, Ethan Coen & Joel Coen and executive produced by Robert Graf and Mark Roybal. The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (JONES) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (BARDEM) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.
