Reviews
Peebles effectively justifies the inclusion of...screenplays, scripts, and adaptations among McCarthy's recognized body of work. This book would enrich scholarship on McCarthy's novels, adaptation studies, and tragedy in the Western and Southern Gothic traditions., [A]n extensive guide...Peebles makes a convincing case that many of the failures in adaptation derive from a failure to express fully the tragic nature of McCarthy's vision., Cormac McCarthy and Performance is an invaluable contribution to the fields of Western American literature and film studies, but it will also appeal to afficionados seeking insight into the artist himself.

Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy is renowned as the author of popular and acclaimed novels such as Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and The Road. 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recently opened archive, as well as interviews, Peebles covers the 1977 televised film The Gardener's Son; McCarthy's unpublished screenplays from the 1980s that became the foundation for his Border Trilogy novels and No Country for Old Men; various successful and unsuccessful productions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., Drawing on Cormac McCarthy?s recently opened archive, as well as interviews with several of his collaborators, this book presents the first comprehensive overview of McCarthy?s writing for film and theater, as well as film adaptations of his novels., Cormac McCarthy is renowned as the author of popular and acclaimed novels such as Blood Meridian , All the Pretty Horses , and The Road .
