作者简介
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent most
of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S.
Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976
he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy's
fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West--the
first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the
Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner
Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968),
Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), and All
the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle
Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992. The Crossing
is his seventh novel and the second in McCarthy's Border
Trilogy.
