I'll copy and paste what I wrote in another thread
I read this guys book blood meridian because the anons here keep shilling him and honestly it was embarrassing, I'm not supposed to feel so obviously superior to an author I'm reading. I could appreciate his use of language to get at his visual effects but the style was so contrived and derivative of Hemingway and Faulkner, it seemed redundant. This might have been okay if there was any substance to the book but he seemed to put all his faith in the style, the Judge's philosophy is not chilling or compelling but merely idiotic and he could only have worked as a comic character, which he had potential to be but McCarthy just wanted us to be mystified by the stylistic violence. If I'm interested in that I would rather just watch beheadings and then read more refined authors. Bloom said this was the best book by any living American, better that Pynchon, Delillo, Roth (which doesn't mean bloom thought he was overall superior). Is this true? I'm not even opposed to that judgement, it just goes to show how largely worthless 20th century literature has been, no wonder the woke blue haired feminists or whatever have been allowed to take over.
