The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy REVIEW

the reflections on fate on the nature of destiny that you find across all the pretty horses are as hefty as any you would find in whatever cerebral novel by any continental writer

if you read both there's no reason why you shouldn't read cities of the plane which is the perfect closure through the trilogy

inherent vice by thomas pension which is a much more enjoyable and much more entertaining book than many other than pincher wrote especially his early works but it still contains still touches upon the main themes that the writer develops in the rest of his uber

the crossing is probably my favorite of the tree it does contain a couple of dialogues and reflections that are quite sprawling and go on for a long time and it's potentially the most hermetic of the three but it is animated by a deeply moving sense of suffering of loneliness and it's propelled by a truly compelling story of brotherly love and of two young men trying to survive together and make sense of one another and not always succeeding and looking out for each other and hurting each other in the process
