Date: August 2nd, 2024 10:02 AM Author: sadistic soul-stirring pistol I don't think he's being read much anymore and I don't think he makes it into the 2030s or 2040s (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5568624&forum_id=2Reputation#47920447) |

Date: August 2nd, 2024 12:09 PM Author: Vibrant chestnut address I think he's overrated too I recently read the same-titled "The Boys" comic and while it was better than I was expecting it had the same overly acerbic/bitter/borderline nihilistic, optimism not allowed, Edge is Lord type attitude that I associate with both McCarthy and Gen X era media |
|
Date: August 2nd, 2024 1:08 PM Author: sadistic soul-stirring pistol to me, there's a tremendous optimism in mccarthy.
its hard-earned optimism, tbh, coming up out of the guts and blood, but its optimism |

Date: August 2nd, 2024 10:08 AM Author: Vibrant chestnut address Popularity of this or that instance of style/era/period in liberal arts is cyclical. We're probably going to see another Hemingway/Grey/Lost Generation hype period again before long, albeit in a much smaller circle than it would've been in ~2009 due to widespread illiteracy/functional non-engagement with the arts (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5568624&forum_id=2Reputation#47920463) |

Date: August 2nd, 2024 11:35 AM Author: territorial doobsian toilet seat jew I agree with this
his oeuvre is really just IJ (amost 3x as long as Moby Dick) and a series of very clever but throw-away articles for the Harpers/Atlantic set. There's little in between and really not even a second complete novel after IJ. those articles are perfect for a Norton's anthology but not conducive to "serious" study - which is my understanding of OP's point
also we're headed for a post-literate society and while that's really a separate point it does mean that fewer and fewer writers are going to make it, long term |

Date: August 2nd, 2024 11:44 AM Author: slimy organic girlfriend Novels are shit. People naturally remember song lyrics and rhymes, but they have to be taught to read and write. If you had to put something in writing it's because you didn't have the talent to make something people would remember.
