The Cormac McCarthy Journal

Cormac McCarthy c. 1973
- ... that The Cormac McCarthy Journal is one of the few academic journals about a specific author from the United States founded while its subject (pictured) was alive? Source: Shelton 2023 (link).
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bork tapes
- Comment: The source specifies that there were only three such journals listed on the MLA Directory of Periodicals shortly after McCarthy's death, the other two being Philip Roth Studies and the James Dickey Review. However, I hedge with "few" because there have likely been more of these journals that just aren't currently listed in the MLA Directory of Periodicals—for example, there's the defunct Pynchon Notes (1979–2009; ISSN 0278-1891—homepage for back issues) about the still-living Thomas Pynchon. Still, it's a rare distinction. Specifying "academic journal" narrows the scope of the claim—for example, a fanzine dedicated to a living author would not count.
