he's probably the greatest living American author OP, hth

Pyncho still alive but it's close. I'd say Suttree or Gravity's rainbow toss up for my favorite books.

It's a testament to the utter wankery of modern literary criticism that Pynchon said he can barely remember writing any of that horseshit because he was so completely off his tits on drugs and yet people will still queue up to laud it.

hmm. indeed.

franco is a loving fool if he wants to make blood meridian into a film. the mpaa would tear him a new rear end in a top hat. he needs to take his loving hands off of good poo poo and stick to shoving them up his rear end in a top hat. Make it an HBO mini if you want to do it. Goddamn.

seriously you have an enormous giant albino infant getting lead along by a nude retard on a tether while shielding himself from the sun with a parasol made of hide, ribbed with animal bones with a leg for a handle. its loving bonkers. also he fires a cannon like he's a loving terminator or something.

my plan for adapting bm was as an hbo series of an undetermined number of 1 hour parts that neither added nor removed the dialogue from the book and would try to make the scenes as faithful as possible, with only two voiceovers for the very first and very last scenes. it would feature a carousel of different top notch directors to show in their unique styles a common vision. talking Coens, Malick, Jodordowsky. Filmed on location and lit as naturally as possible barring the night scenes, practical effects and diegetic music only, no subtitles. I know the chapter of tobin talking about how he met the judge would itself be a single episode.

At lease you guys are honest that the appeal of McCarthy is that he writes arty genre fiction and so he can get away with prose that would get you laughed out of a creative writing class.

nothing can get you laughed out of a creative writing class lol.

More people should read Child of God. The main character is a hilariously gross and demented fuckup, he's basically a proto-Goon.
