cormac
Cormac McCarthy’s writing is built for the sun-battered mesas of the American southwest. The dusty deserts and the weathered men who inhabit these spaces mesh seamlessly with McCarthy’s sparse prose. Novels like All the Pretty Horses and No Country for Old Men trace the adventures naïve young men as they descend into callousness and violence. This innocence-destroying spiral serves as the framework for the playlist that accompanies this entry. The outfits and photos are inspired by the gritty, rugged nature of McCarthy’s writing.
