Get StartedWeird that Bob has not replied to this, think he had McCarthy as his favorite author in another thread here
I have never heard of this author. I guess he didn't want me to anyway.
Wow, really? No Country For Old Men was a really good adaption.
I read two of his books, The Road and Blood Meridian.
The Road was a bestseller, also made into a movie (also good), both made less than 20 years ago. Blood Meridian was great. Had some mindblowing parts, where I was like "Holy shit"... but he dwelt on the violent and depraved side of mankind. Not exactly as an endorsement, but an indictment.
I read his linked obit and it said he shunned notoriety. I didn't know about the book No Country for Old Men.
Based on your explanation of his "based" themes in his books, seems like he'd be in the same Venn as James Ellroy.
