{"product_id":"the-father-of-the-man-beowulf-sheehan-9781957392493","title":"The Father of the Man: The Last Author Portrait Sitting with Cormac McCarthy","description":"On a hot August day, Beowulf Sheehan and his assistant Chika arrive at the Santa Fe Institute to meet and photograph Cormac McCarthy, writer of masterpieces such as Blood Meridian, No Country for Old Men, and The Road, auteur of the Southern Gothic, and figure renowned for avoiding the public eye. Their day together takes them from the light of Santa Fe to the shadows of Cormac's home, exploring his art and life as they go, making what would become Cormac's author portrait for his novels The Passenger and Stella Maris and, less than one year after they are published, the image used to announce the global news of his passing. The Father of the Man: The Last Author Portrait Sitting with Cormac McCarthy is a recounting of that great day, a photo essay (including many pictures published for the first time), an homage to Cormac and his art, and a reflection of Cormac's work to serve as a lens through which Beowulf Sheehan better sees, understands, and loves his own father.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beowulf Sheehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957392495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957392493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Autofocus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2026","brand":"Beowulf Sheehan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48871422427391,"sku":"9781957392493","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-father-of-the-man-beowulf-sheehan-9781957392493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
