There seems to be a fine line between awful and admired prose.

I'm thinking of Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian." That book was filled with excessive phrasing that evokes emotions. I suspect most of us forgive Cormac because it is so clearly intended. But I'm sure there are readers among us who will just shake their head at his prose and mutter "drivel."
