Cormac McCarthy Interview w/ NPR on Faulkner, Writing, & Science
This Cormac McCarthy interview has never been released before on YouTube. Cormac McCarthy discusses topics never discussed in his two recent interviews such as why he writes dark novels, Faulkner, and the origins of humans. There is also a beautiful scene where Herzog reads a passage from "All The Pretty Horses." His willingness to answer questions at length is also much higher. This interview took place with Lawrence Krauss and Werner Herzog on NPR on April 8th, 2011.
This is a reupload as the first one was taken down.

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.
