The Gardener's Son Paperback - 2014
by Cormac McCarthy
A brilliant and brooding piece of writing by the National Book Award-winning author of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing, this taut, riveting drama presents the tale of the tangled fates of two families of Graniteville, South Carolina, in the years following World War II. "(McCarthy is) an author to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly--envied".--Ralph Ellison.
From the rear cover
In the spring of 1975 the film director Richard Pearce approached Cormac McCarthy with the idea of writing a screenplay. Though already a widely acclaimed novelist, the author of such modern classics as The Orchard Keeper and Child of God, McCarthy had never before written a screenplay. Using nothing more than a few paragraphs in the footnotes to a 1928 biography of a famous pre-Civil War industrialist as inspiration, the author and Pearce together roamed the mill towns of the South researching their subject. One year later McCarthy finished The Gardener's Son, a taut, riveting drama of impotence, rage, and ultimately violence spanning two generations of mill owners and workers, fathers and sons, during the rise and fall of one of America's most bizarre utopian industrial experiments. Produced as a two-hour film and broadcast on PBS in 1976, The Gardener's Son received two Emmy Award nominations and was shown at the Berlin and Edinburgh Film Festivals. This is the first appearance of the film script in book form.
