From the archives: Author Caleb Carr

Caleb Carr is one ☝🏽 of the best authors I’ve ever read! The Alienist is a masterpiece! 🏆. We will miss you, CC

[@norakaszuba]

Last night I finished Mr. Carr’s last book, “My Beloved Monster.” It was recommended by The NY Times, and his writing is so good, I delved into his life with his beloved cat, Masha, and their devotion to one another amidst their life on Misery Mountain. This book was riveting and the ending was heartbreaking; an ending you do not want to read just before sleep as it kept me awake most of the night. I am aware Mr. Carr passed away a few months ago, which added to my sobs when I finished the book. Thank you, Mr. Carr, for enlightening me about Masha and cats in general, for teaching me about classical music, and for showing me your and Masha’s world on Misery Mountain. I hope she kept her oath to you. 😢

What an interesting, compelling character he was. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was one of a kind. I will miss him.

[@boniw698]

I’m reading his book right now on his beloved cat Masha. I got it for Mother’s Day. I’m so saddened by his death but he’s with his beloved cats now. I’m so glad this video was made when his house was finished , showing him in good health and Suski. Thank you

And he's no longer in pain.

The Alienist is one of the best books I've ever read. Rest in peace, Mr. Carr.

[@dianemadir5710]

RIP. His words here ripple from 2005 with a level of sanity sorely lacking in the present.

[@cwbrooks5329]

Oh dear. Not unexpected, but so, so sad to read this. I'm glad he lived to publish his book on Masha, and to see how well it was received. RIP Mr. Carr and Masha. You will be missed.

thank you CBS for this archive of a man I'd never heard of...quite an interesting man and one I'm poorer for my ignorance of never having known about him.

Thank you for the work you're doing with students. Yay! I would love to live out of the city growing up in the 50's so much has changed. Love the house, a lot of very centered and good thoughts towards the architecture for safety and comfort. Nice job. Blessings of light for you and your family.

Caleb Carr, passed away 05/24/2024. Rest well.

[@CB-vg1wq]

I did not know he had passed away. I hope his beautiful home is turned into a place for writers to go write and historians to go study history.

[@annerfrancis]

He did create a foundation to do so

[@michaelhilber8284]

Happy times! Before his cancer diagnosis. I am reading My Beloved Monster right now.

[@mirandigriffin9879]

Never come down!! You are an amazing person Caleb Carr

[@sierravista9013]

He was brilliant

[@alisong2328]

I love his books. The alienist is a favorite of mine. He leaves a lasting legacy.

[@joethaler7921]

If your Old Man was Lucien Carr, your surrogate uncles were, Jack Kerouac, Alan Ginsberg, and Wm. Burroughs, then you can understand the irony of living on Misery Mountain. It had to be rugged living with an “entitled” father and his alcoholic soul mates. Rest in peace Caleb Carr. You have earned it.

[@janackova]

Read his memoir.

[@barrybanjer]

rest well, caleb carr, rest well.

The sadest interview. He was about to embark on a life of illness and woe. But his new cat Masha would save him. Rest in peace.

This man had a very difficult childhood and lived with intense, debilitating pain for a good portion of his adult life. That he accomplshed what he did is impressive. The only thing I've read of his is My beloved Monster, which others here have already menioned. It reveals a humanity an insightfulness in Carr that is quite admirable. I'm sorry I'm discovering his work only after his death.

Cancer doesn't care if you're rich

[@davidlong1786]

Money doesn't mean you 'got it made". Look at Steve Jobs, he had money out the whazoo but still succumbed to cancer like so many have before. When your time is up, it's up.

[@davidlong1786]

Adding this: I never have heard of him before now but I understand your anguish at having a favorite author pass on. I myself cried hard when Terry Pratchett died back in 2015 mostly for selfish reasons, knowing I would never get to read a new novel about the Discworld from him. He brought to life a fictitious world for myself and millions of others for many many years.

[@EliasMoore-t9n]

He had long standing health problems, some of which stemmed from the fact that he was horribly abused as a child. His crazy father used to knock him down flights of stairs. When he got older he had neuropathy, pancreatitis, adhesions, and finally,, cancer. I feel badly about his death, too. I really liked him, both as a writer and a person.

[@michaeladams5332]

I have always had the same feelings towards mankind. I have always felt alien on this planet. I frankly am disgusted with humanity. It's sick and I have the cure or plan but who's going to listen to Michael Frederick Adams, woodworker, artist, alien and prophet from the stars. Oh well 😮😢

Interesting how uncomfortable long hair on a man makes certain other men.

[@EliasMoore-t9n]

I think long hair looks unattractive on most men but in Caleb Carr's case it suited him. He had long hair from the time he was a teenager to the end of his life. It looked good on him.

[@mythrapi73]

what a hilarious take. If that's what you have to offer on this video...man oh man....I take it back ....it's actually a very sad take...sad to think there are so many people in the world who don't have a clue as to what living is truly about
