Blaze destroys literary landmark
BY DUNCAN MANSFIELD
Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The boyhood home of Pulitzer-winning author Cormac McCarthy, long abandoned and overgrown, has been destroyed by a fire even as preservationists tried in recent months to save it.
"We have lost a literary land-mark," Kim Trent, executive director of the nonprofit Knox Heritage group, said Wednesday, a day after the two-story wood-frame structure was reduced to a smoldering ruin.
McCarthy lived in the house at least a decade, years before he wrote "All the Pretty Horses" and "No Country for Old Men," which was made into a 2007 movie that won an Oscar for best motion picture. His 2007 novel "The Road" won the Pulitzer Prize.
The fire was a blow for a city that also failed to save the early homes of Pulitzer-winning writer James Agee and poet Nikki Giovanni.
"When something like this happens, it puts a sense of urgency" into preservation efforts. Trent said. "All it takes is somebody with a match and it is gone forever."
Neighbors reported the fire around 5 p.m. Tuesday. The cause was under investigation, said Bill Kear, spokesman for the Rural Metro Fire Department. Investigators say a homeless person may have been staying there, although nobody was in the home when firefighters arrived.
McCarthy, born in Rhode Island in 1933, came to Knoxville at age
The house, which may have been built around a pre-Civil War log cabin, was McCarthy's home for at least a decade until he graduated from Catholic High School, and possibly while attending the University of Tennessee for a year before joining the Air Force in 1953.
four when his father became an attorney for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The McCarthys and their six children moved into the 10-room, two-bath home at 5501 Martin Mill Pike in 1941.
He came back to UT for two more years in 1957-1959, but left before graduating. As an adult, he lived in other homes closer to the Great Smoky Mountains before moving West in the late 1970s. He now resides in Sante Fe, N.M.
