Throughout his career, however, McCarthy has also invested deeply in writing for film and theater, an engagement with other forms of storytelling that is often overlooked. He is the author of five screenplays and two plays, and he has been significantly involved with three of the seven film adaptations of his work. In this book, Stacey Peebles offers the first extensive overview of this relatively unknown aspect of McCarthy's writing life, including the ways in which other artists have interpreted his work for the stage and screen. Drawing on many primary sources in McCarthy's recently opened archive, as well as interviews, Peebles covers the 1977 televised film The Gardener's Son; McCarthy's unpublished screenplays from the 1980s that became the foundation for his Border Trilogy novels and No Country for Old Men; various successful and unsuccessful productions of his two plays; and all seven film adaptations of his work, including John Hillcoat's The Road (2009) and the Coen brothers' Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men (2007). Emerging from this narrative is the central importance of tragedy-the rich and varied portrayals of violence and suffering and the human responses to them-in all of McCarthy's work, but especially his writing for theater and film. 600 10 $a McCarthy, Cormac, $d 1933- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Motion picture authorship $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Playwriting $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Motion picture authorship. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030908.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107013845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDEE2F68939111E7A673E95E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
