>>9930950

Roth has the same problem as Bellow - a skill for detail, but at the risk of damaging the whole. Never finished a novel of either.

>>9931043
Roth skips over tons of detail, in fact his novels feel like bird's eye views of his worlds.

>>9930993
Roth is better and smarter than DeLillo, and this is a New Yorker saying it...

>>9930950
I'd rather list my top 5 from them
1. Sabbath's Theatre
2. Underworld
3. Suttree
4. Mason & Dixon
5. American Pastoral

>>9930950

1. McCarthy
2. DeLillo
3. Pynchon

I have not read enough Roth to make a qualified ranking. Also, just because someone is the worst out of these authors does not make them "bad."

>>9931094
No Blood Meridian?

Pynchon
Roth
DeLillo
McCarthy

Anyone ranking McCarthy higher has only read one of his books

>>9931377
Great McCarthy books: Blood Meridian, Suttree, Outer Dark, The Road + others depending on taste

He isn't a one-hit wonder.
