Cormac
McCarthy was born in Rhode
Island in 1933 and spent most of
his childhood near Knoxville,
Tennessee. He served in the U.S.
Air Force and later studied at
the University of Tennessee. In
1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas,
where he lives today.
McCarthy's fiction parallels his
movement from the Southeast to
the West—the first four novels
being set in Tennessee, and his later novels set in the Southwest and
Mexico. The Orchard Keeper
(1965) won the Faulkner Award
for a first novel; it was
followed by Outer Dark
(1968), Child of God
(1973), Suttree (1979),
Blood Meridian (1985),
All the Pretty Horses, which
won both the National Book
Critics Circle Award and the
National Book Award for fiction
in 1992, The Crossing and
Cities of the Plain,
which completes The Border
Trilogy.
No Country For Old Men is
his first novel since 1998.
