☆ Cormac McCarthy’s Remarkable Career Could Never Be Reproduced Today - The New York Times

The fact that the world is now celebrating the arc of Mr. McCarthy’s monumental career is a testament to the novelist’s undeniable talent. But it’s also due to his timely recognition that, without his protector, Mr. Erskine, and the vanished world of publishing that Mr. Erskine represented, he would need to change the way his books were published. In the 1960s, large corporations began acquiring publishing houses, consolidating the industry into fewer and fewer conglomerates. Literary agents became essential intermediaries, as publishing houses no longer riffled through submissions to find emerging talents. A poorly typed manuscript like Mr. McCarthy’s debut would struggle to make it into, let alone be rescued from, a slush pile.

☆ ‘It Requires Genius and He Had It’: Readers on Cormac McCarthy

That’s the way it’s been for me when it comes to his writing. He may not be the kind of writer that everyone would take to. “I read ‘The Road’ in one sitting, overnight, and it has never left me. I remain haunted by that vision, forever.” — Diana Dubrawsky, Silver Spring, Md. Maybe it was the hormones, but I felt the prose was lyrical and shifting in an interesting way, even as it described horror.

☆ A Guide to Cormac McCarthy’s Books
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( The New York Times Books Staff | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Cormac McCarthy, who died on Tuesday at the age of 89, was renowned for stark and violent novels of the American South and West that were distinguished by a merciless vision and nearly biblical prose. Jerome Charyn’s description of “Suttree,” in The Times’s 1979 review, could well be about any of McCarthy’s novels. “It is personal and tough, without that boring neatness and desire for resolution that you can get in any well-made novel. Cormac McCarthy has little mercy to spare, for his characters or himself. … ‘Suttree’ is like a good, long scream in the ear.”These seven novels comprise the best of McCarthy’s work.
