Cormac McCarthy Interview with Werner Herzog

This Cormac McCarthy interview has never been released before on YouTube. Cormac McCarthy discusses topics never discussed in his two recent interviews, and his willingness to answer questions at length is much higher. This interview took place with Lawrence Krauss and Werner Herzog on NPR on April 8th, 2011.

During the interview, they discussed their mutual appreciation for each other's work, as well as their creative processes and the importance of storytelling.

McCarthy talked about his writing process, saying that he never outlines his novels or knows where they're going until he gets there. He also discussed his interest in human nature and how it is reflected in his work. Herzog praised McCarthy's ability to capture the essence of the American Southwest in his writing.

Herzog, on the other hand, talked about his experience filming "Into the Abyss," a documentary about a triple homicide in Texas. He discussed his belief in the importance of storytelling, particularly in documentary filmmaking, and how he tries to find the humanity in even the darkest of situations.

Overall, the interview was a fascinating discussion between two great artists who share a deep passion for storytelling and exploring the human experience in their work.
