    Cormac McCarthy and Separating Art from Artist

    A recent Vanity Fair article pulled the curtain back on a long time relationship Cormac McCarthy had with a woman named Augusta Britt. Often heralded as one of the greatest American authors of all time, McCarthy is known for his southern gothic novels, which tackle themes of violence, free will, luck, and other dark and brooding subjects. While some may say it should be expected that someone able to create such serious art would be a troubled soul, for many it was a shock to hear that McCarthy's relationship with Britt started when she was only 16 years of age. Today we're discussing Cormac McCarthy, and more broadly, separating the art from the artist.
