Synopsis "No Country for Old Men"

Adapted by the Coen Brothers into an Academy Award winning film, No Country For Old Men is a dark and suspenseful novel from Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road. Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run.

Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

(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.
