(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 New Mexico) spent much of his childhood in Knoxville, Tennessee, where his first four novels are set. By 1965, he began to attract international critical attention with The Orchard Keeper, for which he won the Faulkner Award.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for The Road and the National Book Award for All the Pretty Horses. He is considered one of the four major American novelists of his time. His dense prose is categorized within the Southern Gothic genre for its stylistic complexity and the darkness and violence it presents. His books Outer Dark, Child of God, and Suttree, have been compared to the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.
