Author: Cormac McCarthy
Context:
Discussion of Cormac McCarthy's book 'No Country for Old Men' (referred to as 'No Control Man' in speech, likely a transcription of spoken dialogue). The speaker discusses McCarthy as 'probably the greatest living American writer' and references both the book and its film adaptation by the Coen Brothers. The conversation focuses on a scene where the main character shoots an antelope and gets a bad hit, then comes across dead bodies and money while trailing the wounded animal. The speaker also discusses McCarthy's use of esoteric, old-timey references and specifically mentions a 'horn of fire' reference from the end of the book/movie.
