  1. Blood Meridian – Cormac McCarthy (1985)

    Me resulta extremadamente gracioso que uno de los considerados como mayores (quizás el mayor?) exponentes de la "literatura americana" sea una ristra repetitiva de salvajadas, con unos personajes (si es que se les puede denominar así pese a lo vacíos que están) totalmente intercambiables y sin ningún mensaje aparente más allá de que el ser humano es despreciable y su maldad no conoce límites (menuda novedad). Imagino que los estadounidenses se sintieron fascinados por tal ejercicio […]

  6. What he generally does is writing the text as if the aim was to read it aloud to someone. And you don't read quote marks. You don't read many other punctuation marks. The period survives in a form of a pause, as well as some commas. He strips his text of non-readable elements. Though, it feels a bit too raw for me at times.

    But as the principle, I like it.

  11. Billy Bob Thornton – „All die schönen Pferde“ (2000)

    Billy Bob Thorntons Adaption eines Romans von Cormac McCarthy wurde verstümmelt, missverstanden, verschoben – und ist doch einer der stillsten, zärtlichsten und zugleich düstersten Filme seines Jahrzehnts. Wer sich auf die Risse einlässt, entdeckt dazwischen etwas Seltenes: Wahrhaftigkeit. Mit Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz, Henry Thomas, Rubén Blades und Sam Shepard. (ZDF, Wh.)

  12. On Jun 13, 2023: #CormacMcCarthy, American Pulitzer Prize-winning #novelist (The Road; All the Pretty Horses; No Country for Old Men), died at 89.

  18. 1 Just read The Last Crossing by #GuyVanderhaege, my first read by him in many years, and I was mightily impressed. Calling him the #CormacMcCarthy of #Canada might be superficial, but it does give some sense of his stature and his subject matter, at least in the case of this #book#BookSky
