Question: Who is Cormac McCarthy?
Context: The Sunset Limited is a play by American writer Cormac McCarthy.  McCarthy's second published play, it was first produced by the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago on May 18, 2006, and it traveled to New York City later that same year.  The play was published in a paperback edition about the same time that it opened in New York.  Some consider it to be more a novel than a true play, partly because of its subtitle, "A Novel in Dramatic Form".

Suttree is a semi-autobiographical novel by Cormac McCarthy, published in 1979.  Set in 1951 in Knoxville, Tennessee, the novel follows Cornelius Suttree, who has repudiated his former life of privilege to become a fisherman on the Tennessee River.  The novel has a fragmented structure with many flashbacks and shifts in grammatical person.  "Suttree" has been compared to James Joyce's "Ulysses", John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row", and called "a doomed version" of Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".  "Suttree" was written over a 20-year span and is a departure from McCarthy's previous novels, being much longer, more sprawling in structure, and perhaps his most humorous. The kid is a nameless central character in the 1985 historical novel "Blood Meridian", by Cormac McCarthy.  The first sentence of the novel opens with "see the child", which tells the reader the significance of this character.  These words also serve to advise the reader of the dissimilar nature of the kid in relation to the novel's antagonist, Judge Holden, and the members of John Joel Glanton's gang.  When viewing the novel as a bildungsroman, the story follows the maturation of the kid who had developed distinct values just before the end of the book.
