Rec | BLOOD MERIDIAN (STILL)

😃

Rec'd on 📚 4/1: What did you read last week?

Like 60% through. Just when it was getting a bit meandering, Mccarthy brought back my favorite character and used them for one off scenes that played like a Revenant-esque survival story. This is one of the best American novels I have ever read. I know that’s not a new take.

I’M SO SORRY BUT BLOOD MERIDIAN

A beautiful portrait of the land I love in the American west, pitted against all ill and evil man can do. Really engaging set pieces, some of the best descriptions I’ve read, sprawling prose. The worst parts of being a man amidst beautiful and unforgiving country. Side note if you meet someone who says this book is “awesome”, run quickly.

The road

First time trying Cormac McCarthy. I was inspired by a podcast host who read Blood Meridian.

“blood meridian” by Cormac mccarthy and “a drifting life” by yoshihiro tatsumi

blood, guts, gore, and the wild wild west by cormac. as a palette cleanser, the grandfather or alternative manga’s autobiographical masterpiece. Incredible read if you are curious about the history of manga, postwar japan, or the creative process of manga-making in general.
