  • Caleb Carr, a military historian and novelist who wrote the bestsellers "The Alienist" and "The Angel of Darkness," died on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at the age of 68. In this "CBS Sunday Morning" profile that originally aired on June 5, 2005, Carr talked with correspondent Tracy Smith about the "torturous process" of writing (and building a house); his early encounters with Beat Generation writers who visited his parents' home; teaching military history; and how violence had shaped his worldview and his art.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😮😢

      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.

      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.

      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.
