cormac mccarthy - blood meridian

!!!! ... i've read eight of his nine novels in the last two months, i absolutely love this guy. he's the present-day faulkner, i think. blood meridian is probably his hardest novel to get through, though; if you haven't yet started on cormac at all, i'd begin with the border trilogy, and then work backwards ... just an opinion though. he also has two new books coming out in the next three months (a novel and a screenplay), in addition to the book he published last year; much faster than his usual pace ...

weird, i don't find it that difficult. the sentences slide nicely into each other.

it's funny though, i despise faulkner based on the one book of his i've read. anyway, i'm looking forward to cormac's new one, the road i believe it's called. i'm interested to see what he'll do with the setting.

mccarthy is sweet. he's really changed in style though. he got his ass handed to him in The Reader's Manifesto

i meant more the plot/characterization of blood meridian ... it's all a bit mindlessly violent and monotonous, etc. his other books flow much more, even the early, darker stuff. i know that harold bloom et al say blood meridian is his best, but i'd say any of the three novels in the border trilogy are better.

i also find it hard to get through faulkner; i've read four of his novels and haven't found any of them a particularly pleasant experience, though they are very poetic. the similarities with cormac and faulkner are more thematic (a self-enclosed mythic perverse world) and stylistic (a lack of quotation marks, very unusual words, rambling eloquent passages). i do find cormac much more 'readable' than faulkner, verily.

and yes, 'the road' looks so exciting, it sounds like the kind of story he could do perfectly ... though i've always been partial to the post-apocalypse 'genre'

that guy just quoted very selective passages ... read the online responses to his article, they decisively answered his arguments, i think. there was this one article in salon or slate, i think, which really pointed out where he was unfair

it's quite ok..since there is a lot of free music on tha net..but important albums are still missed ..from electronica through hip hop, alternative..sometimes shops pick something and you have to be really quick to get that album..its like....one,two or three copies for a record...
