This was more brutal than anything McCarthy has ever written. Why does this work not get talked more here?

it’s just a bunch of goatfuckers honor killing each other, hardly «hardcore»

It's a story about self-preservation. It doesn't have the typical Tolstoy moralfag spin to it, which makes it unique. It definitely has the edge I think was missing from W&P

It is as good as The Cossacks? I recently read that and loved it start to finish.

It's absolutely brilliant. One of the best stories ever written. It's amazing how even the minor characters in Tolstoy's stuff, like in Shakespeare's, can be so interesting and alive. It's definitely not more "brutal" than Blood Meridian though.
