>Danielewski's past project sucked so much ass he had to abandon it when he had already published 2 of 12 planned novels

I received the galley, read about 100 pages before deciding life is too short, can anyone confirm whether the 1200 pages pay off

I read the ARC a few weeks ago, and this book is the best western since LONESOME DOVE and BLOOD MERIDIAN. TOM'S CROSSING is the best book of 2025, bar none.

I was busy reading Proust when it was sent to me. Prove that he’s not just doing a McCarthy thing with an NPR esque le “everyone in this community is a storyteller” who improbably knows big words and I’ll reconsider reading it

What an oddly specific gripe. From my actual reading of the book, he doesn't do that.

What i mean is the dialogue isn’t convincing and the narrators voice is annoying. Does it turn into anything good or is it 1200 pages of magical realist quasi western nonsense?

Read it and form your own opinion. The holidays are coming up, so you'll have plenty of time to plow through it. You do have the reading ability to get through 1,200 pages in a couple of weekends, right, anon?
