OT: Update on McCarthy (NTM)

Submitted by yossarians tree on March 9th, 2022 at 12:49 PM

Per MgoBlog lingo, Not That McCarthy...if you fell for the head-fake in my headline, you haven't been paying attention.

Rather, author Cormac McCarthy. Knopf will release not one but two new novels by McCarthy this fall.

Certainly one of my favorite American authors of the last half century. I know he has a lot of fans on this site from previous book discussions we've had. I'd been growing concerned that we might not get another book from him (he's 88 years old), so to get two is amazing. Judging by the capsule summaries in this article, it doesn't look like he's shying away from the really Big Themes in his golden years.

I've been here for a while, and I'm not sure I ever remember a post staying up long enough to reach -100 votes.  Congrats, OP; that is actually a pretty tricky accomplishment.

Haven't actually logged into this site in at least year but made sure I did so I could downvote this post.

Oh, there have been legendary negbangs in the past that have gone way higher than -166 points.

In every case, the idiot getting negbanged would persist in trying to justify himself, which just multiplied the opportunities for negging. They were glorious displays of the inability of some people to take the L and shut the fuck up. 

Yossarian hasn’t followed that path.
