A travel through a McCarthy first editions collection

The Cormac McCarthy’s biography becomes two

Not just one, but two McCarthy’s biographies are expected to be published in 2025. Laurence Gonzales, author of best sellers like “Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why” and “Flight 232” and Mccarthy’s friend at Santa Fe Institute, is working on another biography which want to be “about Cormac as a person more than the literary giant he was”. On the other side, Tracy Daugherty, author of massive biographies of Jospeh Heller, Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry, has signed a contract on December, 2023 with St Martin’s Press to write a comprehensive account of the author of Blood Meridian life.
