	Buy.com - The Road : Cormac McCarthy : ISBN 0307265439
		Cormac McCarthy's bleak vision of the American landscape has always had a cataclysmic undertone, so it comes as no surprise that THE ROAD is actually set in a post-apocalyptic world of ash and bitter cold where cannibalistic marauders roam the countryside.
		Cormac McCarthy writes with a searing white heat, his images and language strike deep in the reader, and his vision of humanity is inexorable and haunting.
		Cormac McCarthy was the third of six children in a Roman Catholic family; he was originally named Charles, but renamed himself Cormac after the Irish king.

	Amazon.fr : The Road: Livres en anglais: Cormac McCarthy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Cormac McCarthy sets his new novel, The Road, in a post-apocalyptic blight of gray skies that drizzle ash, a world in which all matter of wildlife is extinct, starvation is not only prevalent but nearly all-encompassing, and marauding bands of cannibals roam the environment with pieces of human flesh stuck between their teeth.
		McCarthy has always written about the battle between light and darkness; the darkness usually comprises 99.9% of the world, while any illumination is the weak shaft thrown by a penlight running low on batteries.
		Violence, in McCarthy's postapocalyptic tour de force, has been visited worldwide in the form of a "long shear of light and then a series of low concussions" that leaves cities and forests burned, birds and fish dead and the earth shrouded in gray clouds of ash.

		Cormac McCarthy's first novel since he completed the Border Trilogy in 1998 is a dramatic change of pace.

		McCarthy uses his own wonderful narrative to reflect on the power of the narrative event and the act of storytelling.

	Bookreporter.com - ALL THE PRETTY HORSES by Cormac McCarthy
		McCarthy's landscape is the southwest of Texas and Mexico between the two world wars, a time of uneasy transition, when horses and motor vehicles share the road and cattle ranches and cowboys are fading from the landscape.
		McCarthy's main theme in ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is conflict --- man vs. woman, freedom vs. authority, rich vs. poor --- viewed through a clear glass with unblinking, unwavering vision and described with a poetic voice possibly unequaled in all of American fiction.
		It is also balanced and contrasted by McCarthy's description of the blossoming and fulfillment of the romance between the star-crossed Alejandra and Cole, a description that leaves the reader hoping that it will succeed even as it is known, almost from their first encounter, that any relationship between them is predestined to fail.

	No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy: Reviews
		McCarthy's first novel in seven years concerns a man who finds himself in the middle of a drug war after he stumbles across (and pockets) $2 million in cash near the Texas-Mexico border.
		McCarthy’s prose is never less than knowingly and superbly tailored, honed and polished to its very specific and powerful purpose, combining here the simple-seeming language and savage grace of Jim Thompson with the lyrical and evocative toughness of William Faulkner.
		As a prose stylist, Cormac McCarthy is like a man who spends hours in front of the mirror getting his hair to sit just right but will break your jaw if you tell him he's beautiful.

	Language & the Dance of Time in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian
		(1985) is McCarthy’s most historic novel, but it is also puzzling because it is the work in which McCarthy begins to elaborate the view of pragmatism and postmodernism as an answer to the enigmas presented by the oneiric images of his early novels.
		McCarthy’s novel recounts their exploits from the point of view of the kid who is fourteen-years-old at the beginning of the book.
		McCarthy’s late works illustrate a comparable model in the taciturn cowboy, who lives almost exclusively among men, horses, and dogs and whose life is fenced by the barbwire of machismo.

	Salon Books \| Cormac McCarthy: Sentimental journey
		McCarthy had published five books over a span of more than 20 years, but he was then still so little known outside the world of writers and serious readers that his reprint rights were available for the pittance a press the size of Ecco could pay.
		McCarthy, it so happened, had indeed been making beautiful objects in the desert, for the desert of the American Southwest and north Mexico was in his hands a landscape of almost monstrous beauty.
		McCarthy's main preoccupation in "Cities of the Plain" is with that turning moment after the war (the war changed everything, one of his characters says) when an old kind of life, including life between men and women, was being lost and something newer and more horrible was in the offing.

	Cormac McCarthy Drinking Game \| Books \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Some have argued that McCarthy glories in this violence, that he enjoys dropping his hapless or hopeless characters into situations they can't control and seeing what happens next (usually someone loses a limb or an eye or a head), but I don't think enjoyment has anything to do with it.
		But the glory of Cormac McCarthy is that he's never tried to make anything out of the horrific violence that sparkles throughout his stories like veins of gold.
		He's still adept at conveying the state of the natural world with its "naked woodlands" (drink), "gray slush" (drink), and "dead sedge" (drink!), but he's exchanged the violent and terrible human interactions of his previous work for a sustained meditation on the slow walk toward death and the paternal tenderness it inspires.

	The Road by Cormac McCarthy: Reviews
		With only the corpse of a natural world to grapple with, McCarthy's father and son exist in a realm rarely seen in the ur-masculine literary tradition: the domestic.
		McCarthy is particularly well-suited to the task because he writes so beautifully and convincingly about violence, despair and men in desperate situations.
		Even by McCarthy’s standards, the horrors here - an infant "headless and gutted and flening on the spit" - are extreme, and, deprived of historical context, his brutality can seem willful.

	The Modern Word - Cormac McCarthy's "The Road"
		McCarthy’s novels are all variations on similar themes, and The Road expands the central trope of its predecessor, No Country for Old Men, which hinges on Sheriff Bell’s relationship with his estranged father.
		McCarthy refers to them as “roadagents,” or more succinctly, “bad guys.” They enslave the meek, they consume their children, and they torture and butcher anything that gets in their way.
		The intertextual nature of McCarthy’s work creates a referential constellation of meaning that makes the metaphor of carrying the fire as true a description of McCarthy’s literary sensibilities as it is of the man and the boy’s relationship with their progenitors.

		Cormac McCarthy is the author of eight previous novels, and among his honors are the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
		I reckon McCarthy is pretty much a master of literary prose, even if he does leave out all them quotations marks so you can't sometimes figure out what the heck he's trying to get at.
		McCarthy has a distinctive prose style-pared down, direct, colloquial-and he relies on terse, clipped dialogue rather than narrative exposition to move his story along.

	The Point: Cormac McCarthy
		But McCarthy is the Faulkner of contemporary fiction in that his writing is torrential in its power and, yes, its endorsement of human value and struggle in a universe that can seem godless.
		Unlike Hemingway, who followed his self-nullifying godless philosophy to its logical outworking, McCarthy continues to produce writing that pleads with thoughtful readers to take a long look at what nihilism inevitably leads to; instead of succumbing to hopelessness, however, most of McCarthy's protagonists emerge with a hope that is bruised but not broken.
		The fact that McCarthy continues to write and not give in to atheistic despair is loud testimony of his enduring optimism in the Imago Dei.
