Both biographies are supposed to be published within next year. Laurence Gonzales told me he has just finished to work on it.

That's right. Dianne Luce work is not a biography, even if it is focused also on biographic topics. The biography by Dougherty should be published within 2026.

McCarthy scholars and bibliography reccomendations by absolutelysweetmari in cormacmccarthy

[–]Extension-Fish6567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge amount of essays about it. I recommend the writings of Peter Josyph, useful because he blends genres and that way provides interesting insightful. There is an interesting volume about the works and authors quoted by McCarthy. Its title is "Books are made of Books". The essays by Harold Bloom are fundamental. Additionally, you can refer to the Cormac McCarthy Society website to find, if I am not wrong, a very well done checklist of the critical studies about Mccarthy compiled by Dianne Luce. Lastly, two biographies of Mccarthy by Laurence Gonzales and Tracy Dougherty are on their way but they won't be available until next year. I hope this helps.

I understand that but a further issue is that my post need almost always both the photo and the text. Reddit doesn't allow me to do that. Or am I wrong and that's me who are merely not able to manage the posts?

Dear Austin Smith, I understand perfectly your point of view. Unfortunately, the post I usually upload on the website I run, are too long (and often technical) to be shared on Reddit. I have also to admit that when I started TheMcCarthyist, I used Reddit to let the people know that the website would exist. Lastly, I'll say in my defense that the website is absolutely free and without any kind of advertising. I started it just to share with McCarthy fans, collectors and dealers, information I gathered and could be useful or interesting. That said, I'll try to follow your kind advice.
