THIS GUY RIGHT HERE. I'm no McCarthy expert (but I have a friend who's verifiably infatuated) and so my words fall so short of what could possibly be said about this man I do not know, except through his work.

If you've never read anything by this amazing author, get on it. Like yesterday. 

Oh Cormac McCarthy, oh you. Your brilliance will never cease to amaze. A happy birthday to you sir! A happy birthday indeed.
