Following Caleb Carr’s passing last week, CBS released an interview from their archives that originally aired on CBS Sunday Morning after the release of The Italian Secretary in 2005. Providing a rare glimpse into his life on Misery Mountain, in the interview Caleb discusses a diverse array of topics ranging from taking on the challenge of a Sherlock tale commissioned by the Doyle estate, the building of his house, his childhood, his passion for military history, and even his work on the opera Merlin.
At this sad time, I hope it will comfort Caleb’s loyal readership to see this footage where he is happy and in his element.
Suki makes a brief appearance in this clip!
i read the Alienist book over 20 yrs ago, i have read many books and i can truly say when someone asks me about any book i enjoyed i always say the alienist. with that said it is the only book that gave me nightmares for some reason but i really enjoyed the book, one of my favorites. I have read most of his books, just found Broken and look forward to reading it. I will miss Mr. Carr and will keep telling people about his books,
Rest in Peace and thank you very much Caleb
It’s been a while since I have visited this site. I must say, Kim, you have outdone yourself with these recent tributes. I thought I had viewed every interview with Caleb – not so with this one from CBS. It’s quite wonderful and shows his true character – at least the one I know. Thank you for such fantastic work. It’s been comforting as I’ve struggled to say goodbye.
