YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cormac McCarthy, one of the world’s most influential and renowned writers whose career spanned nearly six decades and earned him a Pulitzer for “The Road,” has died. The fiction and drama writer was 89.

McCarthy died Tuesday of natural causes at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, his son, John, confirmed to The Post.

The Providence, Rhode Island-born author was known for his graphic and distinctive writing style, sparsely using punctuation and attribution, in stories that were typically set in the American Southwest, and he wrote all of them on an Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 typewriter.

He published his first novel, “The Orchard Keeper” in 1965, and his second, “Outer Dark” in 1968.

“Child of God,” “Suttree” and “Blood Meridian” were published in the following years.
