There's too much to say about Cormac McCarthy, a giant of the Western literary canon....
Here, I capture what is significant and what I've failed to see in other videos.
The writing for this video was inspired by McCarthy's prose.
EDIT: I made numerous mistakes of location. McCarthy spent a lot of his youth and young adulthood in Tennessee and attended the University of Tennessee (not Texas).
