why is this regarded as a masterpiece of literature?

Read a single sentence in it bitch

It's not. It's just well done genre fiction.

as much as people call mccarthy a meme, you have to admit that his works are far above most of the stuff published these days

Blood Meridian parodies Moby Dick and Paradise Lost in some extremely interesting ways. It's entertaining. It was the western to end all westerns. The ending is some sick philosophical shit. Finally, the prose is masterful.

> why do you hate me /lit? You used to like me. Why don't you like me? Is it because Oprah likes me?

McCarthy's main sin is getting too up his ass with his 'unique' punctuation style

AND AND AND AND AND AND AND

I had a professor who liked McCarthy. We read All the Pretty Horses...I remember counting over 20 ANDs in one sentence.
Legendary.

The metaphysical elements still seem largely misunderstood here on /lit/.
There are moments of incredible beauty in their world, but like the previous person who said "Paradise Lost"...the perspective on the beautiful in the book seem to come from Lucifer's envious stare at God's creation.

I don't really know how to explain it, The Judge is not a perspective you ought to relate to, you see things throughout the book from the perspective of The Boy...or the human.

It's a brain thing.

The judge is a human aspect though, he takes form metaphysically through the submition of humans such as in glanton's gang
