mccarthy is hard and rejects me every time
i keep hearing: the best novel! from people i respect (harold bloom again!)
but the last time i tried it was in paper and the search for meanings and references kept throwing me off
i made several attempts, all ill-timed
speaking of mccarthy: i tried watching "the road" but meh. then again a movie is not a book. but mccarthy is hard to read for me

lately, heretically, i hav been wondering if the individual author might not have been superseded by writing teams. this seems strange for me to say but since litersture migrated to television i find television more interesting than books. the true polyphonic novel i think requires a writer's orchestra
for real though. when one writer writes for one character and another writer writes for another character... this is a historic development in literature, #sorrynotsorry
