Cormac McCarthy Obituary

American writer, Cormac McCarthy has died at the age of 89. His family reported that he died of natural causes in his home on June 13, 2023.

Tributes have been pouring in from several people on social media after his death was announced.

“Cormac McCarthy, maybe the greatest American novelist of my time, has passed away at 89. He was full of years and created a fine body of work, but I still mourn his passing,” popular American author, Stephen King wrote.

“Very sorry to hear of Cormac McCarthy’s death. I’ve been wrestling with his work my entire adult life and I suspect I always will. I’m glad I got to write about the kindness he showed me when we met. The last paragraph of The Road is one of my favorite things ever written,” Erik Baker.

“When a great artist dies, there is the moment when the world understands it will never again have a new creation from the mind, that heart, that vast soul. It is a loss beyond measure, but what that soul has left us is a gift beyond time. Rest in everything, Cormac McCarthy,” Joseph Fasano.

“RIP Cormac McCarthy. I love every book McCarthy wrote. From a film point of view, his writing was so good that the Coen Brothers hardly changed a word of dialogue when they adapted No Country for Old Men. Why would they? You can’t improve on perfection,” The Sting.
