What parts of this novel were autobiographical? I'm reading through it and what little there is on McCarthy through google searches doesn't give me a lot of shit that matches up. Did he really have a son who died? Did he come from a well off family? Did he live on his own like a hobo?

Or was he supposed to be Harrogate?

I've read that it's semi-autobiographical, though to what extent I couldn't say. His father was a lawyer, so he must have been fairly well off, and I know he lived in Knoxville.
