John Jurgensen interviewed author Cormac McCarthy (author of
All the Pretty Horses and
The Road) in the Wall Street Journal. McCarthy is a writer of prose that is both muscular and lyrical. In the interview, McCarthy talks about many things, including the difference between making movies and writing novels.
