Cormac McCarthy is renowned as the author of popular and acclaimed
novels such as Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and The Road.
Throughout his career, however, McCarthy has also invested deeply
in writing for film and theater, an engagement with other forms of
storytelling that is often overlooked. He is the author of five
screenplays and two plays, and he has been significantly involved
with three of the seven film adaptations of his work. In this book,
Stacey Peebles offers the first extensive overview of this
relatively unknown aspect of McCarthy's writing life, including the
ways in which other artists have interpreted his work for the stage
and screen. Drawing on many primary sources in McCarthy's recently
opened archive, as well as interviews, Peebles covers the 1977
televised film The Gardener's Son; McCarthy's unpublished
screenplays from the 1980s that became the foundation for his
Border Trilogy novels and No Country for Old Men; various
successful and unsuccessful productions of his two plays; and all
seven film adaptations of his work, including John Hillcoat's The
Road (2009) and the Coen brothers' Oscar-winning No Country for Old
Men (2007). Emerging from this narrative is the central importance
of tragedy-the rich and varied portrayals of violence and suffering
and the human responses to them-in all of McCarthy's work, but
especially his writing for theater and film.
