McCarthy's death was announced in a statement by his publisher, Penguin Random House. The company — citing the writer's son, John McCarthy — said he died of natural causes. In language that ranged from brutally austere to dizzyingly complex, McCarthy told tales of the dark side of humanity set against the vivid backdrops of the American West and Appalachia. He wrote all of his novels on a Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 typewriter, his publisher said. "Cormac McCarthy changed the course of literature," Nihar Malaviya, the CEO of Penguin Random House, said in a statement. "For sixty years, he demonstrated an unwavering dedication to his craft, and to exploring the infinite possibilities and power of the written word," Malaviya said. "Millions of readers around the world embraced his characters, his mythic themes, and the intimate emotional truths he laid bare on every page, in brilliant novels that will remain both timely and timeless, for generations to come." The literary critic James Wood, writing in The New Yorker in 2005, called McCarthy a "colossally gifted writer" and described him as "one of the great hams of American prose, who delights in producing a histrionic rhetoric that brilliantly ventriloquizes the King James Bible, Shakespearean and Jacobean tragedy, Melville, Conrad, and Faulkner." McCarthy was famously averse to giving interviews, and spoke publicly only on rare occasions. In a 1992 interview with The New York Times, he suggested that his professional craf...
