Confirmed by Publishers Weekly.
The literary titan of our age and time has passed to the ages.
The world grows cold
The heathen rage
His story's over
Turn the page.

Farewell to the king. The last page of Stella Maris felt like a goodbye, so I'm not even surprised. He readied us for the end.  |

I had been bracing myself for this one for a long time, but he's also one of those guys who seemed immortal to me. The release of The Passenger and Stella Maris last year feels now more than ever like such a blessing. I think I commented in my review on here at the time that those novels truly had the feeling of a swan song, which will now feel even more poignant than before.
Reading Blood Meridian at 15 was my first real foray into "adult" literature, so McCarthy's always been incredibly formative to my literary and general artistic taste. Even as my taste has evolved over the years, I can't deny the permeant place his sensibility and influence holds in my brain.
Rest in peace to a genuine icon of American literature.

Fortunately with AI you can ask ChatGPT to write a break up letter to Taylor Swift for you - in the Great Man's style - just in case you get a chance to date her......eventually, theoretically we all will date her and theretically need one of these yanno?...... People have way too much time to do stupid shit ........   |
