There's a big damn interview with Cormac McCarthy in the new issue of Rolling Stone ("Cormac McCarthy's Apocalypse," pgs 43-53). I got a free subscription to this shitbag magazine when I ordered something off of Amazon a few months ago, and this is the first good thing I've seen.
If you havent seen
No Country for Old Men yet, see it. It's the best film of the year and it's the best adaptation of a great book ever made.
No Country has been one of my favorite books since I read it back when it came out in the summer of Aught-Five, and it was great to see The Coen Brothers get it so right (though it's not perfect). I cant imagine that John Hillcoat or whoever directs the film version of
The Road will do such a topshelf job. But that remains to be seen.
Also check out
The Sunset Limited, McCarthy's "novel in dramatic form" that passed under the radar (kind of) in the wake of the huge success of
The Road and the
No Country movie.
