Cormac McCarthy on The Road

Cormac McCarthy shuns interviews but he relishes conversation. Last week the author sat down on the leafy patio of the Medgar Hotel, built about 20 years after the siege of the Alamo, the remains of which are next door. McCarthy had flown to San Antonio to meet his friend Tommy Lee Jones, a star of [...]

Cormac McCarthy's rugged road to respectability

The writer had been dismissed as an eccentric with 'horrible' style and a hacky, regional view. Now, the much-anticipated film 'The Road,' based on his Pulitzer-winning novel, opens Wednesday. So many people are killed -- so graphically -- in some of his books that it's almost unimaginable. In his latest novel, it's after the end of the world, and besides wandering and waiting, almost nothing happens....

We'd Be Better Off If Oprah Quit Last Friday

Revenge of the real

Another foray into the 'end of the novel' debate, this time by Zadie Smith in The Guardian . It's a very good essay, thought provoking and, although I don't fully go along with her, she makes some excellent points. Her starting point is the apparent coincidence of a number of authors - Foer, Drabble, Achebe - writing essays recently, rather than fiction. Why', she wonders. She then refers to a forthcoming...

Mark your calendars: The world will end on 12/12/12 -- or will it?

Tony Williams, a pastor at Aphesis Apostolic Ministry in Fresno, believes the rapture is at hand and people need to prepare by accepting God. Although end-of-times prophecies have bubbled up from the Bible to Nostradamus, the current crop tracks to a pivotal date – 12 / 21 / 12 – on one ancient Mayan calendar. Dene McGriff wants to make sense out of the last days – the end of times....

It's the end of the world as they wrote it

I have zero interest in seeing 2012; the trailer was quite enough, thanks. That said, I was intrigued by this list of the best works of apocalyptic fiction, which includes writers as diverse as Cormac McCarthy and Nevil Shute and Margaret Atwood (for Oryx and Crake).

The Road - redux

I wrote about “The Road” , a novel by Cormac McCarthy back in May. It was an excellent book. The writing style was one I haven’t seen before, so it took a while getting used to it. Once I did though, the story was engaging, and terrifying. The movie is due out shortly : November 25, 2009, to be exact. Here’s the official trailer via YouTube. I haven’t seen a movie in...

The Road (2009): B+

Whereas Cormac McCarthy is an author to whom cynicism comes easy, director John Hillcoat (The Proposition) is a filmmaker whose doubt about mankind’s capacity for good comes laced with a tinge of humanistic hopefulness. And while McCarthy’s curt, hard prose...
