Cormac McCarthy

My condolences.

R.I.P.Cormac

He has an Irish face for sure. “Cormac” in old Norse and Gaelic means “Raven.” Raven mythology and archetype suited his taking the name of Cormac. It was right and he knew it.

I am McCormick, “Son of the Raven.” The four greatest influences on my own writing are the King James Bible, Shakespeare, George Orwell, and Cormac McCarthy. I relate to Cormac McCarthy’s words as words coming from within. Not as words from the written page

I am fourth generation from a ranch in Durango, Colorado. A denizen of the Great Southwest. No one knew the truths of this land, and their larger implications, than Cormac McCarthy.

I had hoped to meet him in life. But now I will have to defer that meeting to some time in death farther down the road. But it is just as good. Until then. The Son of the Raven.

May God fortify you during this most difficult time.

To the family of Cormac McCarthy . Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. May the God of comfort and peace strengthen you during this difficult time.

Such a prolific writer, so amazingly talented. He has such memorable works that so many will be able to continue to enjoy. Heartfelt condolences to the McCarthy family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all to help as you endure this very difficult time of your loss.
