The Cormac McCarthy Home Page is a good place to start for someone interested both in the writing of Cormac McCarthy and the literature of the American Southwest. Often compared to William Faulkner, McCarthy has recently become very popular among certain literary circles. Perhaps with the proliferation of novels such as All The Pretty Horses, reading will again become an American pastime.
