I looked up some facts about McCarthy/ATPH. Here are some of the interesting ones I've found:
1. ATPH is part of the Border Trilogy. The second and third books are The Crossing and Cities of the Plain respectively.
2. The movie ATPH stars Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. It's supposed to be terrible.
3. The book (published in 1992) won many awards such as U.S. National Book Award as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award. This was due to the romantism that McCarthy decided to put into ATPH. His previous works were supposed to be very bleak.
4. He wrote No Country for Old Men.
5. McCarthy is said to be very secluded and isolated. He lives in Santa Fe currently.
6. The Road was featured in Oprah's Book Club. Due to this, McCarthy gave his first interview on the Oprah Show in 2007.
These are a few interesting tid bits I found. Hope you enjoyed them! (:
