Yevgeny Prigozhin rose from an ex-con hot dog vendor to winning lucrative Kremlin contracts and heading a formidable mercenary army.

In his obituaries, Cormac McCarthy has been widely praised as a descendant of William Faulkner and Herman Melville among others, those excavators of the American spirit whose biblically influenced prose raised narratives to tragic and poetic heights.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of novels that included “The Road” and “No Country for Old Men” has died.

Anticipation has been growing all year for one of the fall’s likeliest bestsellers, Colleen Hoover’s “It Starts With Us.”.

Cormac McCarthy has two novels coming out this fall, his first fiction releases since the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Road” in 2006.

Sorry, Cormac McCarthy fans.

Although not for everyone, the intellectual thriller does have a similar tone to McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men." Scott's camera delights in the big-name cast as he affords them the opportunity to deliberately luxuriate over the sometimes too cerebral conversation. McCarthy's ever-present theme of the choices people make and the consequences their actions create is on red alert here. Michael Fassbinder is the unnamed counselor, a Texas attorney who gets caught up in a drug deal. The characters in "The Counselor" are genuinely unsavory, but what makes them interesting is their willingness to go as far as it takes to get their self-indulgent needs met.
