>They spent the afternoon drinking in a lazarous bodega run by a Mexican. Some soldiers came in. An altercation took place.What is a "lazarous bodega"?
>>25196859a rundown bar
It’s just a fancy way of saying a bar
its a place in new york city where you can chop it up with the guy behind the counter and appreciate the guy playing oye como va from his backpack speaker
>>25196859Heh… book should have been called violet meridian, given how purple his prose is. Heh.
>>25196872Lazarous does not mean run down.>>25196876Lazarous is not an intensifier of bardom.>>25196877lol

>>25196859It’s signifying the brought back to life or half dead state of Lazarus. >>25196872Rundown is an acceptable understanding. >>25196887Good one.

Hijacking this thread because I don't want to start another Corncob threadIs the Border Trilogy worth reading? I've read BM, Suttree, Outer Dark, and The Road and enjoyed them all but I am feeling a little burnt out on him.
>>25197130ATPH is probably his most straightforward and accessible book as a kind of cowboy bildungsroman. Solid but not one of my favorites. The Crossing is up there with Blood Meridian and Suttree. Cities of the Plain is the last book of his I have yet to read. I‘d say yeah but it‘s not super immediate and you don‘t need to push yourself into it.
