Note from the President: University of Western Sydney Sponsors The International Conference Cormac McCarthy: Borders and Landscapes

In July of this year, the Writing and Society Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney sponsored and hosted Cormac McCarthy: Borders and Landscapes. This conference drew an international collection of scholars who presented a tremendous set of papers. Cormac McCarthy Society members and officers presented essays and keynotes, and the conference featured a series of original artworks by Peter Josyph entitled The Lost Blood Meridian Notebook. Thanks to all who made this remarkable event possible, particularly Anthony Uhlmann and Lou Jillett of the University of Western Sydney. The Cormac McCarthy Society looks forward to a long association with our colleagues in Australia.
