Cormac McCarthy Auctions His Old Typewriter Friday

Cormac McCarthy Sells His Olivetti

Tomorrow writer Cormac McCarthy will auction his old portable Olivetti typewriter. McCarthy wrote every one of his books on this typewriter. In this New York Times article, McCarthy elaborates: “It has never been serviced or cleaned other than blowing out the dust with a service station hose. ... I have typed on this typewriter every book I have written including three not published. Including all drafts and correspondence I would put this at about five million words over a period of 50 years.”

Estimates indicate the typewriter will sell for $15,000 to $20,000. The money will be donated to the Santa Fe Institute. McCarthy’s latest book, The Road, was recently adapted to film and is now in theatres. What a charm to have around the house, eh? It would be like having Willie’s old beat up acoustic…
