New Cormac?

[Mark Kohut]

Consensus belief, I think, is he allowed himself to be on and interviewed by Oprah was because he wanted a big hit of sales. for his family, he wasn't/ isn't young. Big lifetime-earned semi-retirement payoff. He had live very poor for a long time. Oprah would not have selected the book otherwise. 

He quoted the great line from Bullitt: " You work your side of the street and I'll work mine" as he defined himself against Oprah's " marketing.

There's been mention of him working on this one for quite a while now and even a manuscript copy in the archives at Texas State, but the fact that it's being aired in any form is probably a good sign.
