A feat of language. The poetic density here is tending toward Finnegans wake

No it isn't, retard.
>>25087127>The storm moved off to the north. Suttree heard laughter and sounds of carnival. He saw with a madman’s clarity the perishability of his flesh. Illbedowered harlots were calling from small porches in the night, in their gaudy rags like dolls panoplied out of a dirty dream. And along the little ways in the rain and lightning came a troupe of squalid merrymakers bearing a caged wivern on shoulderpoles and other alchemical game, chimeras and cacodemons skewered up on boarspears and a pharmacopoeia of hellish condiments adorning a trestle and toted by trolls with an eldern gnome for guidon who shouted foul oaths from his mouthhole and a piper who piped a pipe of ploverbone and wore on his hip a glass flasket of some smoking fuel that yawed within viscid as quicksilver. A mesosaur followed above on a string like a fourlegged garfish heliumfilled. A tattered gonfalon embroidered with stars now extinct. Nemoral halfworld inhabitants, figures in buffoon’s motley, a gross and blueblack foetus clopping along in brogues and toga. Attendants attend. Suttree watched these puckish revelers pass with a half grin of wry doubt. Dark closed about him. The lightning lapsed away and he could hear the grass kneeling in the wind. He raked leaves to him in his arms and struck a match with fingers stiff and fumblesome. They crackled along the edges and small hot sparks went singing down the wind. He tried again and gave it up. He curled into his blanket there on the high cold ground and he knew he should be cold but he had not been so for days.
>>25087206this is a mcdonalds happy meal plaything compared to literally any random page from FW
>>25087208Read the OP again
>>25087210>I have never read JoyceAccepted.
>>25084950>poetic density here is tending toward Finnegans wakeYou can't even say that about Oxen of the Sun
>>25087211Keep coping
>>25087213Oxen of the sun is apoetic though.
>>25087208This is just dense. It is as far from poetry as a carpenter's manual
>>25084950lol.>>2508495216 Americans believe this, so I guess you are correct in saying Americans believe this but hyperbole.
>>25087283Learn to write, retard
>>25087368>it's a newfagEven if not a newfag (unlikely), learn to read.
>>25087381No reading comprehension on you
>>25085023why do i even come here
>>25087214>>25087206Corncob is such a mediocre writer. Makes sense why ESLs love him.
>>25087825But you're proof to the contrary
>>25087825That page is from Ulysses, my spic friend.
>>25087840Learn to read and follow a conversation, ESL
>>25087841Says the spic who can't even tell who wrote what lol
>>25087825>ESL manchild seething and projectingYeah because ESLs for sure love this sort of writing>>25087206 right?
>>25087825ESL retards like you who can't follow two sentences if they are adjective-laden are the ones who hate him the most.
>>25087217the wanderer is alluded to like 4 pages into the chapter kek
>>25087825>AND THEN HE ATE THE BEANS AND THE BEANS WERE VERY GOOD AS HE ENJOYED THE HEAT OF THE FIRE SUPPLEMENTING THE BEANY MEAL
>>25088484>all those beansMust be very relatable to you two lol
>>25088433Adjective-laden sentences don't deserve to be followed
>>25088476Oh yes, because what's more poetic than referencing poetry right?
>>25085118its possible if you have a few hundred dollars for pay for play
It is beginning to worry me that there is no sign anyone in the thread has read the book. Has nobody on this board read Surrreee?
>>25089075I don't read. i only post here to dunk on my political and religious enemies in a basically janny free environment.
>>25088530the chapter is a 4k remaster of several english poetic/literary tradititions, retard. you don't earnestly think citations and allusions is the only thing going on there
>>25089075I have, I enjoyed it quite a bit and need to reread it. It has a very hypnotic rhythm to it that really elevates it in my mind.
>>25089075I read it a few weeks ago. It is easily Cormac's best book. I like the chapter where he gets lost in the forest for weeks on end and loses his mind a lot.
>>25089187better than the road?
>>25089187Sounds like uncslop.
>>25089116No shit sherlock, it's still not poetic, you drooling retard. Try reading some poetry to know what that is like first.
Why does McCarthy make millennials shit themselves in impotent rage?
>>25089245problematic cis white male :/ really yucky
>>25089241how would you know? you didn't understand the chapter and I did.
>>25089263It's funny you want me to believe you read Ulysses while visibly struggling with the idea of poetry and what it comprises of.
>>25089245Most of them are ESLs
