Autorenporträt

In 2013 he was awarded the inaugural Windham-Campbell Literature Prize by Yale University.

Rezensionen

Smart, shimmering and thought-provoking...McCarthy isn't a frustrated cultural theorist who must content himself with writing novels; he's a born novelist, a pretty fantastic one, who has figured out a way to make cultural theory funny, scary and suspenseful - in other words, compulsively readable.
