Cormac McCarthy, the dark genius of American literature, dies
McCarthy died of natural causes at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Penguin Random House says. He was arguably the greatest American writer since Ernest Hemingway or William Faulkner. A very reserved man, he almost never gave interviews. His nihilistic and violent tales of the American frontier and post-apocalyptic worlds led to awards, film adaptations and sleepless nights for his captivated and horrified readers. He wrote with a distinctive, sober style that eschewed grammatical norms, but drew the reader relentlessly into his world of blood and dust.
