The portrayal of violence without any acknowledgment of the damaged motivations and unforgivable consequences thereof is, as you say, unjustifiable. McCarthy, on the other hand, always has a point to his blood and it is never painless to recognize, which is proper. My other favorite book of McCarthy's (alongside Blood Meridian) is Suttree, placed in my old home of Knoxville, Tennessee. It is much less bloody than McCarthy's other books and is a sensitive and compassionate study of the dispossessed. I'd recommend it!jmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470407787311078380noreply@blogger.com
