why am I so awesome?

and why am I so under appreciated?

and why can't I use quotation marks?

>> No.509712

Because you ape Faulkner but add a lot of violence

You aren't

Because fuck quotation marks, who needs 'em?

>> No.509717

>>509706

because you train from child

>> No.509722

Because you have an interesting style that reminds people of Faulkner, one of America's best stylists.

You aren't, really.

You can, but you choose not to because they're ugly.

So I am awesome because I remind everyone of someone else?

That makes me feel under appreciated.

And, yes, quotation marks are ugly. I agree.

because there aren't 50 McCarthy threads on /lit/ damn near constantly

Actually no, but I'm getting drunk and don't feel like organizing my thoughts on your stuff. But your awesomeness has to do with flinchlessness, style, and sincerity.

You sure? You told Oprah in that "awesome" interview that you didn't care if anybody reads your books (a pretty astonishing thing for someone appearing on Oprah to say, by the way).

Good. It's settled.

Look, assface, I didn't mean on /lit/ specifically. I meant in general. That Palalalalalalniuk queer gets more play than me.

In fairness, if one is appearing on Oprah, one really doesn't need to worry about book sales for a while, if you catch my drift.

Thanks. I'll do that.
And you know what?
At least the horses get me.
Which either says a lot for them.
Or very little for you.
I'm Cormac McCarthy.

I'm pretty sure he is considered one of the greatest living American writers along with Philip Roth and Pynchon. How is that under appreciated?
