No, because Gass, Barth, and McElroy are still (barely) alive.

Whatever you want to say about No Country for Old Men and The Road, they are far above this swill.

B-but anon, he was just doing it for a fun paycheck!Sure. Sure he was.

>>7846722
because he isn't pynchon

>>7846738
doesn't matter, gr and m+d are better than anything mccathy has ever done (i think bm is great btw)

>>7846738

No Country for Old Men is absolute dogshit. I can't believe the man who wrote Suttree even considered publishing that movie-script garbage

>doesn't matter, gr and m+d are better than anything mccathy has ever done (i think bm is great btw)

Just curious, where would you rank GR and M&D in the western canon? How high would you rank them? Doesn't have to be exact. Just ballpark.

>>7846722
No. Because he is dead.

>>7847000

Why do you say that, trips anon?! WHY?!

>>7847000
hell be just fine?

>>7847328
hell be fine

>>7847333

No. No no no no no. Stop it.

Post yfw McCarthy's last novel, The Passenger, comes out THIS YEAR.

>>7846824

Friend it was first a rejected movie script that he turned into a novel for the sake of having it adapted. But still have you seen The Counselor? The fucker needs to stick to lit imo.

>>7847505

>The Counselor

I still contend there were a few things, that I don't know how much Cormac had influence in, that fucked that movie more than anything.

>Cameron Diaz - Total casting fuck up.

>Javier Bardem - Fine casting, total fuck up on wardrobe, hair/makeup, and direction.

>Ridley Scott - Good director, bad director choice for a McCarthy.

But you're right, it wasn't very good.

>>7847000
He said he would never die.

>>7847488
sorry to disapoint you ,but it got delayed to 2017 march. check the mccarthy forums.

>>7848020
Aw, oh well, still only a year from now though. This is probably the only upcoming novel I'm really excited about, Hoping it's closer to his older work than his last two.
