Cormac McCarthy was born July 20, 1933. He is a very successful American novelist. McCarthy began to write at a young age and published his first book, “The Orchard Keeper” in 1965. That same summer, he met his soon to be wife on a boat Anne DeLisle, who was working on the ship as a singer. They got married less than a year later in 1966. In 1969, he and his wife moved to Tennessee, where he attended college. There, he wrote his next book, “Child of God” which he says was based on real life events that occurred. After this book, McCarthy’s writing career really took off. He wrote many more books like, The Outer Dark (1968), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West (1985), All the Pretty Horses (1992), The Crossing (1994), Cities of the Plain (1998), No Country for Old Men (2005), The Road (2006),  and The Passenger (not yet out).
