at least we're getting 2 whole new books. The man is nearly 90 years old, in a worse timeline he would have died before writing The Road and No Country.
Almost 10k people entered it with 20 copies of Passenger. Hell, I was talking to a liberal israelite at work and she immediately smiled when I asked her if she had read Cormac McCarthy. He's not as recognized as other authors but I think he must be pretty popular by now.
are you insane? everybody knows who he is. he is extremely famous.

Even a complete normie in one of my intro lit classes did an essay on a corncobby novel. Anyone who doesn't think he's extremely well known already doesn't get out much

His works are more recognized than his name, but we're just mincing words at this point. He's pretty popular. I don't really know who else will fill the void when he's gone. I think Jesmyn Ward has a nice Faulknerian voice but McCarthy has this profundity and darkness that is rare.

Don't fall for idol worship jeez. One should rather broaden their source of inspirations.
>A new corncob book is coming out
I wasn't sure that this day would ever even happen. Hopefully it's good, since I assume it's going to be his last book

his renown is going to go through the fricking stratosphere when he dies.
1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western zips the jacket of his wetsuit and plunges from the boat deck into darkness. His divelight illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot’s flightbag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit – by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.
Traversing the American South, from the garrulous bar rooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the Florida coast, The Passenger is a breathtaking novel of morality and science, the legacy of sin, and the madness that is human consciousness.
Reading these along with IQfy is going to be great. IQfy has the comfy experience of group-watching a new show all the time. We rarely have it, because we (rightly) scorn almost everything written after about 1650.
Someone from IQfy should post the first proper review of The Passenger on BadReads. Perhaps I will.
He's most well known in the mainstream for All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old Men, and The Road. Blood Meridian is a IQfy favorite and many will say it's his best novel. You could start with any of those.
I can't wait to pen in my own quotation marks. My favourite part of every Corncob read
how can an 85 year old homie write books? Go suck on a werther's original and let yer dusty brain prep for the big sleep.
>Dec 6
damn, was hoping it was sooner.
comfy winter kino
lets hope
The boxed set is coming out Dec 6 but the two novels come out individually in the autumn. Passenger = September & SM October or something.
Likely the last books he ever writes bros.
Certainly. But that's okay. He has a large body of work already. Trust me you don't want too much from your favourite writers.

>Cormac McCarthy will die in your lifetime

Stop making shit up.

>Ye's in broke Spanish
I’ve never read him, does it matter if I start here or should I read his earlier stuff first?
Read Blood Meridian and then go from there.
Fat cat
what's the best book to start reading him, i want to read something from him before he dies
He's most well known in the mainstream for All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old Men, and The Road. Blood Meridian is a IQfy favorite and many will say it's his best novel. You could start with any of those.
This and the English trans. of Annihilation. Can't wait.
I'm anticipate to see what becomes of this novel on its release
Cormac McCarthy? That’s not real literature
