"I’m not writing for a particular audience. The reader in mind is me. If someone else would write these books I could go play golf." -- author and screenwriter Cormac McCarthy (7/20/1933 - 6/13/2023), expressing his creative independence and style. Author of such classics as "Blood Meridian,""No Country For Old Men," "All The Pretty Horses", and "The Road" (for which he won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for fiction), McCarthy was notorious for avoiding interviews, believing that his work spoke for itself and having him "analyze" it in front of an audience was a waste of time.
