A Tribute to Cormac McCarthy

later on I read McCarty's earlier Works novels such as satri and Blood Meridian and there too what struck me really hard was this ambivalence between a deep sense of oh for instance at the wonders of the natural landscape or the endless possibilities of life but also a very strong commitment to talk about the most horrifying aspects of existence and especially about the most horrifying things that human beings do to each other

I started with No Country for Old Men and the road and those were both novels that hit me really hard because of this strange balance that they show between a very gritty type of realism but also moments of great tenderness

the final paragraph of satri is one of the most beautiful passages I've ever read
