US author Cormac McCarthy dies
US Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy has died aged 89, his publisher has announced.
Many of his novels were violent tales describing the American frontier and post-apocalyptic worlds. In real life, he was said to be a very private man. His 2005 book No Country for Old Men - a grim story of a drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert back country - was adapted for the screen by Joel and Ethan Coen. It became a hugely successful thriller, starring Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones.Image caption,
