McCarthy is a hillbilly retard with no education.

And retards all around flock to him because they feel justification in being burdens on mankind.

Fuck McCarthy, fuck BM, fuck all his shit edgy books.

His fame is nothing more than the same fame of J.K. Rowling.

Illiterate tasteless shit bags gawking over a talentless hack.

When I read BM, the thing I would wish for the most, is the zeal the judge has. I don't care the goal, but being that driven would be awesome.

edgy opinion yourself my man.

His dad was a lawyer and he attended U of Tennessee for a few years before dropping out to focus on his first novel.

Are you really that mad that the man was a NEET for a while?

>comparing McCarthy to rolling
Lel your baiting at this point

If McCarthy is a hack who isnt?
DFW? Pinecone?

>read BM
>drive stakes into the ground to an unknown teleology over the trackless expanse of bone ground.

What else of McCarthy's is good?

>>7178394
Suttree, No country for old men and the Road are ok but nowhere near the level of Blood Meridian

>>7175495

>>7178425
Suttree is near.

>>7178394
The Outer Dark is pretty good. Incredibly bleak tho

>>7178394
Outer Dark, Suttree, Child of God, they're all good not as good as Blood Meridian. Blood Meridian is a landmark piece of literature though so it's not necessarily a fair comparison.

This. Corncob McCorny is a fucking hack and you faggots are retarded for lapping his shit up.

>>7179231
this. highly underrated

mccarthys aesthetic is much more suited to film than literature

>>7178394
Been said but Child of God is really, really good. It isn't better than BM, but it's shorter and more accessible.

Also, fuck you niggers. The Road is also good.

>read Blood Meridian

Bears are without question the most based animals on this planet.

Reminder that Nabokov was the true hack and he was only jealous that he could never be as good a writer as Faulkner.
