Interesting situation here... he passed away yesterday.

RIP Cormac McCarthy

Feel much the same about McCarthy's death as I did about Le Carres a few years ago; that the world is short one of the great writers of modern literature and that I'm down another hero. He hadn't done a great deal in the last few decades and some might argue that his back catalogue was never...
