A Cormac McCarthy Conversation

I walked back from the break room with a copy of The Crossing tucked under one arm. Dave from the LatAm department stepped out of the newsroom and we crossed.

Youre reading The Crossing, he said.

I turned back.

Yeah.

You read All the Pretty Horses.

Yeah.

Youre going to read Cities of the Plain.

Yeah.

Dave nodded.

Nice.

Good talk.
