Cormac McCarthy was an American writer who achieved fame with his idiosyncratic, powerful stories, often about individuals in the middle of crises, and how they respond to what they face. His works have won prizes and awards. His work THE ROAD won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2007.
Many readers have wondered the purpose or choice to use the forms of writing used by McCarthy. Some have suggested he was writing books filled with blank verse poetry, without calling it such. Others think him to have been somewhat arrogantly saying, I'll write however I like. Or maybe his purpose was to create according to his own sentiments. I don't know. And found that aspect of his work to be rather confusing if also rather clever.
However what is known, is that he had a purpose and achieved it. He wrote, he taught writing, and he gained fame for his considerable archive of works.
