I will start reviewing this shortly. This is my first GA review, so if I make mistakes or am unclear, please let me know.

His parents, Charles Joseph and Gladys Christina McGrail McCarthy) Is there a better one for that claim, or am I overlooking something?
(this house burned down in 2009)may be better placed in an explanatory footnote or better integrated into the prose, like "which would later burn down in 2009".
He also hosted a radio show? I am not too familiar with the guidelines on self-published info, so if not needed, disregard.
Some sources dispute this and say his family changed itdoes not seem supported by the source at the end of the paragraph.
it was the only publisher [he] had heard offrom?
Also, in 1966unnecessary? Don't know.
based on actual eventssuch as? Source says it's based on newspaper accounts of a real person, maybe good to clarify.
to the organization. .- second period wrong.
McCarthy's next book, No Country for Old Men (2005), was originally conceived as a screenplay before being turned into a novel.[37] Consequently, the novel has little description of the setting and is composed largely of dialogue.[2] The title originates from the 1926 poem "Sailing to Byzantium" by Irish poet W. B. Yeats.[38] It stayed with the Western setting and themes yet moved to a more contemporary period. The Coen brothers adapted it into a 2007 film of the same name, which won four Academy Awards and more than 75 film awards globally.[37]
fires up on the hill and everything being laid to wasteshould be at the end of that sentence so it's clear where it came from.
He is unique, as nearly all other members of the SFI have a scientific background. Maybe something like, "While nearly all other members of the SFI have a scientific background, he uniquely does not."
Have to go for a bit, will return with comments for later sections. Urve ( talk) 19:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
the seemingly inhuman foreign antagonist Anton Chigurh of No Country for Old Men is said to reflect the apprehension of the post-9/11 era- by whom?
There's a great deal of scholarship on this topic. I changed the subheading to "Bilingual narrative practice" and added references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Triphibious ( talk • contribs) 00:04, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
McCarthy has dedicated himself to writing full time, choosing not to work other jobs to support his career- but he is a trustee for the SFI? Unsure how to reconcile this with the source.
In the 1980s, McCarthy and Edward Abbey considered covertly releasing wolves into southern Arizona to restore its decimated populationrelates to politics. It should be in this section - just unsure if this is the appropriate placement.
who do not rate with himmeans.
Latin American writers? It looks possessive, but maybe that's not how TIME transcribed it. (In which case, maybe [sic]?)
spanning the Southern Gothic, Western, and post-apocalyptic genresneeds to be supported in the body of the article somewhere
He is widely regarded as one of the greatest contemporary writers
So I think if the above are addressed, this is very close to passing and becoming a GA. Urve ( talk) 20:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
