Celebrated American Novelist Cormac McCarthy Dies at 89.

Cormac McCarthy, the celebrated American novelist known for his bleakly violent, apocalyptic visions of the American south, has died at the age of 89. McCarthy was best known for The Road, the 2006 post-apocalyptic novel about a journey taken by a father and his son. Other critically acclaimed books by McCarthy are All the Pretty Horses and No Country for Old Men, both of which were turned into films. Widely seen as one of the US’s greatest novelists, McCarthy chronicled the violent lives of troubled characters in pared-back, dense, austere prose that prompted comparisons with authors including Herman Melville and William Faulkner.
