Two Years After Cormac McCarthy’s Death, Rare Access to His Personal Library Reveals the Man Behind the Myth

Damn I guess need start reading his books.

Approvingly nodding. It's... well, the first of his book I read I had a hard time getting into it. So glad I persisted. So sad I did not start a few years earlier.

If you’re looking for another book that leans into those traits, Blood Meridian is the move.

McCarthy spent a staggering amount of energy researching the historical context and setting, so if those interest you, I can’t recommend Pekka Hamalainen’s (nonfiction) Comanche Empire strongly enough as a companion piece. It’s a beautiful condensation of the mindsets, lifestyles, and economic forces working on all the players in the narrative.
