Almost 10k people entered it with 20 copies of Passenger. Hell, I was talking to a liberal jew at work and she immediately smiled when I asked her if she had read Cormac McCarthy. He's not as recognized as other authors but I think he must be pretty popular by now.

1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wetsuit and plunges from the boat deck into darkness. His divelight illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flightbag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit – by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

Traversing the American South, from the garrulous bar rooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.

Corncob Vs Glowies incoming.

His works are more recognized than his name, but we're just mincing words at this point. He's pretty popular. I don't really know who else will fill the void when he's gone. I think Jesmyn Ward has a nice Faulknerian voice but McCarthy has this profundity and darkness that is rare.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 01:42:33 2022 No.20624929 >>20624472 Certainly. But that's okay. He has a large body of work already. Trust me you don't want too much from your favourite writers.

Reading these along with /lit/ is going to be great. /a/ has the comfy experience of group-watching a new show all the time. We rarely have it, because we (rightly) scorn almost everything written after about 1650.

Someone from /lit/ should post the first proper review of The Passenger on BadReads. Perhaps I will.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 4 11:49:45 2022 No.20626687 >>20624472 at least we're getting 2 whole new books. The man is nearly 90 years old, in a worse timeline he would have died before writing The Road and No Country.
