Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Cormac McCarthy passed away at the age of 89. McCarthy is the author of projects such as All beautiful horses, It’s no country for old men, The street, and more. These are all novels that have been adapted into fantastic films.
He died Tuesday, in Santa Fe, NM of natural causes, and it was announced by his publisher, Penguin Random House, his son John McCarthy said.
McCarthy has such a unique storytelling style with his writings, most of which have offered a deep exploration of human nature. His long list of works established him as a master of contemporary literature.
What I liked most about McCarthy’s stories was his exploration of the human condition. His novels dive into deep philosophical and existential questions, grappling with themes of morality, identity, violence and the fragility of human existence. He tells his stories about him so raw and often portrays his characters as pushed to their limits in extreme situations.
Before McCarthy died, it was revealed he was working on a film adaptation of his brutal western, Blood Meridian. The novel is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written, and the story is about the human scalping trade in the Southwest in the 1850s. I couldn’t wait to see this story come to life on the big screen. McCarthy was developing the project with the director John Hillcoat (The street, lawless, triple 9).
McCarthy’s impact on literature solidifies his status as a truly remarkable and influential writer and storyteller. He has left an incredible legacy. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
