| Novelist, born in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, and raised in Tennessee. His first work, The Orchard Keeper, was published to great acclaim in 1965 (William Faulkner Foundation Award). Most of his early novels, with their dark themes of justice and retribution, are set in Tennessee, and include Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1974), and his most autobiographical work, Suttree (1979). He moved to Texas in 1982, where he concentrated on deeper philosophical themes of spiritual desolation and loneliness. Blood Meridian appeared in 1985, followed by the Border Trilogy, comprising the best-selling All The Pretty Horses (1992), The Crossing (1994), and Cities of the Plain (1999). |
