McCarthy Meets Oprah

by Charlotte Abbott, PW Daily -- Publishers Weekly, 5/25/2007

On Tuesday, June 5, literary recluse Cormac McCarthy will make his TV debut in a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, who will also announce her summer club pick that day. In the taped interview, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road, which was Oprah's surprise pick for her club, will discuss his writing process, the genesis of his tale of a father and son wondering a postapocalyptic wasteland and his thoughts on "notoriety, women and life's necessities."

Altough booksellers don't know the name of Winfrey's next book, they have already placed their orders for the summer selection, a $15 Picador paperback.
