Funnily enough almost nobody on this board has read either of these books.
>>25497458Good thing too because neither of them are good books.
>>25497458Suttree is an alcoholic mess of short stories which should not have been published. My favourite is the aunt in the asylum or "raped by a black witch grandmother."
>>25497458Why would anyone on /lit/ think they're Cornelius Suttree? None of us live in squalor that deep
>>25497538>Why would anyone on /lit/ think they're Cornelius Suttree? None of us live in squalor that deepSpeak for yourself, cunt, now get me a longie out of the roach fridge.
>>25497458yeah pretty true
>>25497458I tried to read Suttree a decade ago and got filtered. I couldn't get through McCarthy's prose. I may have to take another crack at it now, I think I've become a more skilled reader.
>>25497458why are you acting like reading mccarthy is an achievement
>>25497458both contain characters in the running for most inept and comical characters in literature. Both thinking they are far more clever than they are. So in that sense both are accurate.
>>25497538I live in the projects in a rundown duplex. Granted my family is middle class but they're too selfish to help me.
>>25498796>I think I've become a more skilled reader.IKTF. I read The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie when I was 17 and didn't know what the fuck was going on. I'm sure I'd have a much better understanding of the book now @ 32 y/o, relatively anyways. I would definitely consider myself to be infinitely more literate @ my current age than @ 17 y/o.
>>25499083You need to drink more whiskey
>>25497458I have never read these books, nor spoke of them. I am frequently accused of being pretentious and deluded for having genuine enthusiasm, and for requesting that the people who seek to harass and undermine me for not existing in a permanent state of cynical irony leave me be and keep to themselves. I am likely a fool for expecting such royal treatment and should simply spend my life kneeling to these ever present tormenting spectres and stripping away my interests to appease them, but I won't do it.
>>25499227Stop using AI and read the fucking KJV
>>25497458I read Boethius because of Ignatius. Never read Suttree tho, not huge into Cormac
git cha a beer sut
When you think about, Daniel Larson is just Gene Harrogate but real.
>>25499419He sat and looked at the beer and drank the beer and turned his head and spat into the river and sat and looked at the man with an empty beer and watched him.
I started reading a confederacy of dances after seeing name dropped by rory in Gilmore girls. Suprisingly gross for high literature.
>>25498825Plenty of men of letters praise him and laud his works.
>>25498825you reading anything would be an achievement, but here we are.
>>25499513Cormacs books are essentially the lit equivalent of assisted audio for the blind lmao
>>25499575>Suprisingly gross for high literature.Yeah unlike Ulysses, Beckett's prose, De Sade or others
>>25499575that's because "high literature" is whatever jews say is "high literature"also gilmore girls is produced by a jew (unsurprisingly)
