Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men," has died at the age of 89.

He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and drew much of his literary inspiration from his Southern upbringing. McCarthy's most widely known work is "The Road," a post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son journeying through a ravaged landscape. McCarthy was married and divorced three times and fathered two sons.

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.
