Just picked up pic related. What am I in for?

>>8962954
I would say its profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered. . . .the most accessible of all his works." --Me

>>8962954
is that based on the movie?

>>8962991
Yes man

>>8962991
The movie is based on the book

>>8962997
>>8963010
then its good

>>8962954
You're in for a lot of run-on sentences, sad feels, and lack of closure. Better than the movie imo.

>I'm getting too old for this shit, this really has become no country for old men

Jesus fucking Christ McCarthy

Get ready for violence. Uncomfortable violence.

Although I'd argue that Blood Meridian was way more harsh. Shit, I couldn't even read more than a few chapters of that book.

go to bed, Harold

>>8962954
McCarthy's attempt at seeming less pretentious.

>>8962954
airport-tier fiction

>>8963231
I'm 40 pages in and already know its gunna be a wild ride

>>8962954
Read the Yeats poem first

A story that feels like a nightmare.

>>8962954
I liked it more than the movie.

>come on, kid, it's time to hit The Road again

For fucks sake

What of his other works would /lit/ recommend?

>>8963568
The Road.

>>8963572
It's his best work, tbhwyfbiwctncfomiafb

>>8963568
outer dark is good

Was Sugar autistic?

>>8963862
No, he was the ultimate badass.

>>8963895
>implying autists can't be badass

>>8963568
all the pretty horses

You really might as well just watch the movie, it's great. It won lots of awards for a reason.

The book itself was originally conceived by McCarthy as a screenplay, he only turned it into a novel after no studio initially showed any interest.

DELET THIS
REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>That chapter where the 80 year old got barred from the Willie Nelson concert

>>8963150
>I want them all, All The Pretty Horses.

wow

>it was very dark outside - an outer dark, if you will

What a mediocre hack

>>8962954
The lest impressive work of his I read. Still good.

>>8965296
He definitely name-drops in that book like six times but it's always really well done

>>8962954

This

>>8963603
This. Child of God, Blood Meridian, The Road. Those are all Ive read of him. I havent read NCFOM or Suttree yet. I hear Suttree would be in second place as his magnum opus.

>and and and, and and and, and and

>>8967011
That pedantic little shit? Badass?
