We're on page 68 of Suttree by #CormacMcCarthy and we don't even know what the main character looks like yet, but this homeless man peddling pencils … man, McCarthy can paint a picture with words like no other. I'm inspired to be more creative with how I describe a scene in my own prose. I'm a million miles away from this, but if I can get even marginally better, it's a win. Anyway, I experience so many wow moments reading his work. #reading #bookstodon #writingCommunity

Patrick Nathan on Cormac McCarthy as a stylist: "McCarthy’s language does not fit in a frame. In his novels, the unit is not the sentence. It’s not even the paragraph. The novel, for McCarthy, is what the novel is made of. This places him in a different category of stylists—with David Markson, say, and Thomas Bernhard. Clarice Lispector. José Saramago. Even Samuel Beckett."

https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-8167 #cormacmccarthy #grothendieck #terschelling Vrijdag 14-07-2023 In de romans van Cormack McCarthy komen als hoofdpersonen vaak intelligente, eenzame mannen voor, die enige tijd aan de zelfkant leven van de samenleving en af en toe opeens door enig toeval rijk zijn. Dat duurt niet lang omdat het ze niet interesseert om definitief uit de goot te klimmen. In 'De passagier', zijn laatste roman uit 2022, is Robert (Bobby) Western er ook zo een. Het laatste..

"The task of the narrator is not an easy one, he said. He appears to be required to choose his tale among the many that are possible. But of course that is not the case. The case is rather to make many of the one." --Cormac McCarthy (1933-2023) , 'The crossing' #CormacMcCarthy #rip

Mit Cormac McCarthy ist ein großer Autor von uns gegangen.
Der Science-Fiction-Leserschaft ist er vor allem durch "Die Straße" ein Begriff. Ein Roman, den wohl niemand, der ihn gelesen hat, jemals vergisst.

🖤 R.I.P. #CormacMcCarthy
Die Wüste ist rot, und rot ist der Staub. So beginnt es, und so endet es auch meistens. Und oben ist bloß das Schweigen der Sterne, ein Mann liegt im Sand, das Hosenbein getränkt in Blut. Der Rest reitet weiter.

If you write as well as McCarthy then you don't need much punctuation. The rest of us, though....

To sic #JamesWood on #CormacMcCarthy is unfair to the sensibilities of both writers. The New Yorker obit/review of the two last McCarthy book tries for the sweeping overview, but Wood is permanently not in the mood for McCarthy - hence his elevation of The Road, surely one of McCarthy's minor novels, as the major work over Blood Meridian, against which Wood tosses such howlers as: "Of course, his earlier novels explored “themes” and, in their way, ideas;

Listening to the audiobook of Blood Meridian while working this morning.

Christ, this book is good.

#RIP #CormacMcCarthy

One of the great writers. I still remember reading and being shook by the Blood Meridian when I was in college. I still reread The Road and All the Pretty Horses every few years.

RIP Cormac McCarthy— one of the greatest American authors of our time, and one of my personal favorites.

My very last assignment, for my very last college class was a paper written on on Cormack McCarthy’s “No Country for Old Men”. Loved the book (and movie). A masterpiece conducted by a legend.

#RIP #cormacmccarthy #respect

Every #CormacMcCarthy post rn is like "RIP to this great author who caused me to need 6 months of therapy after finishing Blood Meridian."
