Is this the best Blood Meridian edition out there?

>> No.5714209

does it have all the words, in order, that compose the novel in its entirety? if so, i'd say it's as good edition as any.

>> No.5714219

the edition with the introduction by Harold Bloom is clearly the best

>> No.5714234

This is such a good and graphic book. I just finished reading chapter XIII so they just finished their massacre crusade.

Am I at the climax or is it going to get better?

Are you new here? According to /lit/, only plebs actually read books.

The last 50 pages are way better than the rest of the book.

I tried reading it but the lack of punctuation makes it very hard to follow for someone who doesn't speak english as a mother tongue

But at the same time I don't think a translation could do it justice...

I bought that because of all of the glowing reviews, but Jesus, his sentence structure makes it unreadable.

If I wanted to commit suicide I would read that book out loud and let myself slowly suffocate.
