>>12809567
Not avoiding it, just refusing to answer it because you know what I meant and I'm not hear to debate the archetypal concept of manliness and what exactly makes McCarthy's Blood Meridian fall in line with the term, I'm here to stack recs that I won't read anyway so just fuck off, you smug cunt.

>>	Anonymous Fri, Mar 22, 2019 21:40:29 No.12809583 >>12809576 I don't know what you meant, though. I don't know what manliness is or how Blood Meridian is manly. It's violent, yes, but violence isn't necessarily manly as women can be violent. As can animals.

>>12809583
What makes BM is the context in which the violence is used in and its bigger picture, i.e. the themes and ideas that permeate through the novel. But like I said, I'm not here to debate shit, I just want to gather as much recs similar to those of McCarthy's and London's work and I'll be on my merry way.

>>12809599
Now this sounds like something I'm looking for, thanks dubs.
