Cormac McCarthy has signed a two-novel deal with his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. “We don’t know anything about them,” Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for Knopf, said. “But two new novels by Cormac McCarthy is good enough for us.” Knopf has published Mr. McCarthy’s work since his breakout novel, “All the Pretty Horses,” in 1992. “The Road,” which was published last year and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, was selected for Ms. Winfrey’s book club earlier this year and has sold about 225,000 copies in hardcover, according to the publisher. And there are 1.1 million paperback copies in print.
