The Gardener's Son

Library Journal07/01/2014
In spring 1975, film director Richard Pearce asked McCarthy to write a screenplay, something the distinguished novelist had never done before. Drawing inspiration from a few footnotes in a 1928 biography of a famous antebellum industrialist, McCarthy ultimately completed a classically tough-minded McCarthy-esque tale of two Southern families, the mill-owning Greggs and the McElvoys, who are among the mill's employees. The film was broadcast on PBS in 1976 and received two Emmy Award nominations; the screenplay is back in print and available in trade paperback for the first time.
