sunsurfer, I’ll be interested to know how you think this book compares to McCarthy’s other works. He has been noted by critics as a disciple of Melville and Faulkner.
I borrowed the book from my library and have read three chapters so far. The literary style is definitely different such as creative use of punctuation and interesting phrasing and structure of sentences. I like how the chapters are formatted with list headings like older style books. The vocabulary is also a distinct, and my dictionary is getting a work out! He chooses his words to fit the time period and the atmosphere.
