No Country For Old Men by #CormacMcCarthy.
Just reread Chigurh dispatching his first two victims. He’s the ultimate psychopath.

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 […]https://fsolt.es/2026/07/blood-meridian-cormac-mccarthy-1985/

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.

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.)

All the pretty horses is an epic novel full of big emotions, big characters, and big landscapes, and though it's a good book, I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected, mostly because of the uneven (and often rambling) writing style.
All the pretty horses, Cormac McCarthy

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

If you only read one novel by Cormac McCarthy read All the Pretty Horses.
I'm afraid that younger folks might have read The Road, as that was his last book. While that's well written, like all of his, I hate the post apocalyptic genre.
If you are going to read only two, then read Suttree next.
You should read everything he's written if you're able.

Hardly seems worth doing
Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.
