"Daniel King has performed a service long overdue for scholars and avid readers of McCarthy's work. Incorporating correspondence to and from his editors and agents, and relating comments he penciled into the margins of his in-progress manuscripts, King has given us a finely detailed portrait of the craftsman at work. It's an enjoyably readable account of how the master bricoleur revised, reconsidered, and ultimately built the novels which so challenge and delight us."
--Rick Wallach, editor of Myth, Legend, Dust: Critical Responses to Cormac McCarthy
