I am almost done with Blood Meridian. My favorite thing about

>>9369977
ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

the kid escapes and becomes the man, kills a kid who fucks at him about his ear necklace. then he meets back up with the judge at a bar where they watch a dancing bear get shot. the kid goes to the jakes and gets raped/killed by the naked judge hiding inside. then the judge goes dancing and lives forever

>>9369977
Bald guy rapes and kills the kid

>>9371541
>rapes
lol no
nobody knows for sure
what happened there desu

>>9371567
Well I like to think he raped him.

>>9369977
Other than the plot, do you like the prose? If you do I strongly suggest Suttree. It's a bit lighter in tone (but dark in places) but an absolute joy to read

>>9369977
it's not much of a plot. it's simple, albeit brutally violent.

>b-b-but it's not a plot-driven narrative.
nope. it's not.

>>9371586
I don't really care for the prose...I hardly understand any of the words. But the PLOT... absolutely remarkable

>>9371604
what is the plot?

>>9371604

3/10

Decades of hard work turn a boy into a man. The men in his company are often horny; separately, they enjoy spending their hard-earned cash on fine clothing.

>>9369996
Nothing remotely suggests rape or even murder. You probably also think the prostitute was a midget and the kid was secretly a homicidal pedophile.

>>9371580
Fag.

The blood meridian was inside you all along

>>9369977
Here is the ending: nothing really happens at all.

>>9373480
Not even that guy but that scene pretty much mirrors the scene when they meet the group that had the fucked up horse, where the judge is dancing along the walls at night, and then the boy is found dead in the morning.

>>9373480
Harold Bloom interpreted the ending (in "How to Read and Why") as the kid being murdered

>>9371604
in the rogue blood

>>9369977

abandon this thread anon and don't look back until you're finished with the book. cunts.

>reading for the plot

>>9373480

>>9369977
Holden rapes the kid's sister, Phoebe

>>9369996
>raped/killed

Nice try, Mr. Banville.

>>9376136
Caring about the words on the cover instead of the design is the same as caring about the plot and not the prose

>>9376120
>reading translations when you know the original language
What's your language fuckboy?
