The Coen brothers have taken McCarthy’s mythical, fallen West and made it their own-and maybe that’s the problem. Brolin, Bardem, and Jones give monster performances. Like most of the brothers’ films, it looks and sounds terrific, with a spare Carter Burwell score and impeccable cinematography from Roger Deakins, who also shot the season’s other big Western, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I can’t speak for the McCarthy cultists, but I predict the Coen-heads will be thrilled by No Country for Old Men. and pedophilia all occur at regular intervals in McCarthy’s narrative, as the book. The Coen brothers and Cormac McCarthy share something else besides a bleak worldview: Both the directors and the writer have attracted passionate cult followings in addition to their considerable mainstream success. from McCarthy’s sprawling neo-Western No Country For Old Men. ![]() ![]() ![]() NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER * LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER * WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER WINNER of the NBCC John Leonard Prize, the Kirkus Prize, the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, the Dylan Thomas Prize, and the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award ![]() ![]() A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEARĪ BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, O Magazine, Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, Glamour, Shondaland, The New York Times Book Review, Boston Globe, Buzzfeed, Kirkus, Time, Good Housekeeping, InStyle, The Guardian, Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Self, The New York Public Library, Town & Country, Wired,, Happy Mag, New Statesman, Vox, Shelf Awareness, Chatelaine, The Undefeated, Apartment Therapy, Brooklyn Based, The End of the World Review, Exile in Bookville, Lit Reactor, BookPage, i-DĪ FAVORITE BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Barack ObamaĪ BEST BOOK FOR HOLIDAY GIFTS: AV Club, Chicago Tribune, New York Magazine/The Strategist, The Rumpus ![]() ![]() She worked various jobs to pay the rent, including a decade-long stint as the assistant manager of a 700 bed freshmen dormitory at NYU, a position she still occasionally misses. ![]() After six years as an undergrad at Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City (in the middle of a sanitation worker strike) to pursue a career as an illustrator, at which she failed miserably, forcing her to turn to her favorite hobby-writing novels-for emotional succor.

As Reese puts it, “You’ll learn how I keep my home, how I entertain, and just how much fried food I eat. Called Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up in the South Taught Me About Life, Love, and Baking Biscuits, it’s part memoir, part instructional guide, cheerfully detailing the sorts of homemaking activities that would take up most people’s entire lives. Recently, Reese has done yet another improbably time-consuming thing: written a lifestyle book. As someone who requires 11 hours of sleep a night and has never once scolded a paparazzo while wearing gym shorts, my mind is incapable of fully grasping the concept of Reese Witherspoon. In other words, Reese Witherspoon clearly does not sleep, both literally or on anything. She also seems very frightening to cross, especially while on one of those runs. Once, I read somewhere that Reese runs two miles every single day. ![]() Her “73 Questions” interview is exhilarating at one point, she effortlessly does a backflip. ![]() She’s read basically every single book that’s been published in the new millennium, options 78 percent of them, produces 400 TV shows and movies per year, stars in about half of those, is raising three children to adulthood, runs a clothing line, and also finds time to teach Natalie Portman how to do Instagram. Reese Witherspoon has always terrified me, and I mean that entirely as a compliment.
