Synopsis "The Stonemason: A Play in Five Acts (in English)"

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road and the bestselling Border Trilogy comes a taut, expansively imagined drama about four generations of an American family. The setting is Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1970s. The Telfairs are stonemasons and have been for generations. Ben Telfair has given up his education to apprentice himself to his grandfather, Papaw, a man who knows that "true masonry is not held together by cement but...by the warp of the world." Out of the love that binds these two men and the gulf that separates them from the Telfairs who have forsaken--or dishonored--the family trade, Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction: precise observation of the physical world; language that has the bite of common speech and the force of Biblical prose; and a breathtaking command of the art of storytelling. Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, The Passenger.

(Rhode Island, 1933 - 2023 Nuevo México) Ganó el Premio Pulitzer de ficción por La carretera y del National Book Award por Todos los hermosos caballos. Es considerado como uno de los cuatro mayores novelistas estadounidenses de su tiempo. Su prosa densa se encasilla dentro del género gótico sureño por su complejidad estilística y la oscuridad y violencia que presenta. Sus libros La oscuridad exterior, Hijo de Dios y Suttree, han sido comparadas con la obra de William Faulkner y Flannery O'Connor.
