why did he insist on being so edgy and grimdark?

>aspires to be a physicist
Is it a coincidence that the two best living authors are over 80 years old, made careers out of writing stories about uneducated deadbeats living in poverty and deep down just want to be physicists?

The Creator gleamed with his camera at the stage. A worthy successor of the mycenean arena from eons ago. Frown spawn of fat within nth degrees of fat from his barilla.
Corte.
His boca was full of an unknown ambrosian substance that provided the foot monger pleasurable nutrition. His nephillian footstpes shakes the ground of the escenario beneath him and walks toward Nathan and the Actress. His baby like hands held a polycentric plastic with held unlimited quantities of queso and dulces perquenios. The crew logmarithaicly backs away as the Creator waddled progressivly like he was a Mosian spirit performing an exodus for his chosen brethren.
The Creator stared at the Actress with his small pig eyes. There was silence for several increments of time. The actress mistaken the cold autistic silence as an elaborate jest. She started to vibrate her voice box to conjure up a laugh. But ceased when she peered into the irate black mars in his eyes. She assumed wrongly. Now she must repent. The Pesphille spoke.
"Mas movimiento cabeza. Por dios."

Don't you EVER talk badly of him again or I will personally punch you to death.

Over the past few weeks Cormac McCarthy's long awaited novel The Passenger has been floating around various Hollywood studios that are interested in auctioning it for a film. It's set to be released about a year from now. I got a chance to read it, am 400 pages in with about a 100 pages left. Can answer any questions you may have about the work.

Your thoughts, gentlemen?

He rose and stood tottering in that cold autistic dark with his arms outheld for balance while the vestibular calculations in his skull cranked out their reckonings.

Is there any actual literary sci-fi or is it all just Reddit plot-driven garbage? I want to read a great novel with beautiful prose and nuance and experimental form and rich thematic exploration that leaves me thinking about it years after I've finished, and I don't think these are things that should be confined to boring stories about self-insert NPC women living dull lives in New York City, which make up most literary fiction today.

I know it's possible. Why isn't anyone doing it? If McCarthy can do it for Westerns and Calvino can do it for magical realism, then surely someone can do it for sci-fi. The closest I've found is a short story about a transgender attack helicopter.

I love McCarthy, but does he really have to use so many abstruse environmental terms in his writing? No, I don't know that a mass of fine-grained rock in which gems, crystals, or fossils are embedded can also be called a matrix, and it really kills the flow when I have to stop and look this shit up. Sometimes it feels like he's showing off at the expense of the writing.

What's your opinion on this dude? Is he the best author alive? What are his best works?

>>15202067
I wonder who could be behind this post

What does /lit/ think of his works? Rank his books. Also what's up with his use of punctuation?
Also new book when? He will die soon. He should just release it already.

>>14052892
Okay Cormac, you don’t like punctuation, we get it.

Will he live to write again? Will you read it?

Authors you could beat in a fight

pic related. I think about driving to sante fe and punching his lights out at least once a week.

Are there any writers alive worth reading

What's taking so long?
