>Book ends>Author goes on tangent about troutsWHAT
>>25341377I watched the movie years ago, pretty grim, it was a depressive watch with We need to talk about kevin
>>25341377Just got this paperback. What's with all the line breaks? The ebook wasn't spaced like for children
>>25341377Based and trout fishing pilled.
>>25341490The ebook isn't formatted correctly then. This is how McCarthy wants it for some reason.
>>25341377If you don't like the last paragraph of The Road there is little hope for you.I will agree that Cormac does have a thing for epilogue-style endings with a radical departure from the earlier events/characters/timeline. If you thought The Road's was bad, I don't know what you'll make of some of the others:— Big pull-back where he summarizes decades of the MC's life thereafer(Billy Parham in Cities of the Plain, Bobby Western in The Passenger)— Bizarre incident involving a new character(Bind man in Outer Dark, Hole-digger in Blood Meridian)Even the "normal" endings are a bit weird:The Orchard Keeper has the thing about the town disappearingAll The Pretty Horses has JGC riding into the mists of nowhere as if becoming some mythical Last CowboyThe Crossing has the Trinity atomb bomb test although it's not spelled out for youI guess the nightmare in No Country is normal. And Suttree is pretty normal (except the dog being the death he only just dodged is a bit on-the-nose).
>>25341377McCarthy is a shit writer. It's genuinely a mark against your character if you make it to the end of one of his books.
>>25341796The epilogue of All The Pretty Horses is amazing for the reasons you stated, amazing scene of Grady Cole passing by natives living under oil rigs and going even further into the wilderness. He is not only the last cowboy, but the last native of the wilderness.Orchard Keeper? Impossible to remember anything that happened in that book.
>>25343141You're retarded
>>25341377>book ends with the author admitting his predatory murderous homosexuality has transformed him into a destroyed evil thing rightfully sentenced to life in the hell that is his existence on earth >immediately explains how great it feels to fuck a boy in sensory depravation
