Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy died June 13 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the age of 89.
The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University acquired McCarthy’s archives in 2007, opening the collection to researchers in 2009.
“We at the Wittliff Collections were deeply saddened to learn of Cormac McCarthy’s passing. He is a literary immortal and his work will live on through his revered books,” said Steven L. Davis, literary curator with The Wittliff Collections. “More than 15 years ago, Cormac entrusted us to care for his archives. A group of our staff arrived at his home in Santa Fe and we will never forget how warmly he greeted us, sharing coffee and conversation before we paczked up his papers to bring to Texas State University.
