A Guide to Cormac McCarthy’s Books (www.nytimes.com)

If you haven't read Cormac McCarthy, that needs to change. His prose simply has no equal. The man was an actual, honest-to-god, national treasure. He was so formative for me as an author, and I'm just gutted by his death.

Be warned: if you're going to attempt to read one of his books, you need to make sure that you have the time and space to give it proper attention. His work is heavy, like a slab of lead, and you need to be sure to give yourself extra time to digest things. But it's so, so rewarding.
