Cormac McCarthy, who is famously reticent was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal last week. It’s a terrific interview. Here’s one of my favorite parts:

“WSJ: What does your brother Dennis do? Is he a scientist?

CM: He is. He has a doctorate in biology and he’s also a lawyer and a thoughtful guy and a good friend.

WSJ: Brotherly conversation just turns to the apocalypse?

CM: More often than we can justify.”
