I can tell you, you’re missing out. He’s an exceptional writer to include “All Those Pretty Horses” and “No Country For Old Men” which were both made into movies. You have to know enough Spanish to get by because his characters in Mexico speak Spanish with no translation. The other thing which is somewhat unique is he doesn’t use quote marks but simply indents paragraphs as speakers change.

I have heard of C.McCarthy (who hasn’t!) I have consciously avoided literature and film of mayhem, murder and horror, sticking to my Banvilles and Burnsides, even if I have had to miss out on what’s approved and popular.
