Cormac McCarthy's Venomous Fiction
  + stars: | 1992-04-19 | by ( Richard B. Woodward | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min

A cult figure with a reputation as a writer's writer, especially in the South and in England, McCarthy has sometimes been compared with Joyce and Faulkner.

I told the MacArthur people that he would be honoring them as much as they were honoring him."
