Carr lived his writing life valiantly, with works of politics, history, and sociology. Most astonishingly for this historian, with wildly entertaining works of fiction.
Caleb Carr, born into literary and cultural history, had a childhood marked by gatherings with Beat poets like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.
Caleb Carr, abused by his father, described his parents as mostly drunken architects of his household. His mother remarried writer John Speicher, creating 'The Dark Brady Bunch.'
Carr's best-known book 'The Alienist' sold millions, inspired a sequel, and was adapted into a TNT miniseries. He called it a 'whydunnit' weaving in 19th-century psychology references.
