I preferred blood meridian. McCarthy, and especially The Road, is definitely a continuation of the hemingway style, it's not for everyone. I find that the bluntness of the prose can hide some very beautiful insights he has though.
- the_af 3y agoInteresting. I actually like Hemingway! For example, I consider "The Killers" a masterpiece: blunt, short, well-written, the dialogue is mundane but interesting, and nothing heroic happens. I don't know if I could stand a full novel in this style though. To me, McCarthy in the "The Road" was the boring kind of depressing.
