Fourth Author Portrait: Cormac McCarthy

Portrait of Cormac McCarthy
7x5 watercolor, watercolor pencil

Cormac McCarthy is the author of The Road, a dystopian novel of a father and young son attempting to survive a grueling trek through America after a global environmental disaster has reduced many humans to the basest and brutal hulks of their former selves.

Like the best of science or speculative fiction, its future dystopian landscape is a reflection of conditions that in some ways are already here.
