Currently reading War of the Worlds and things are just starting to heat up, poor Ogilvy. The social commentary aspect is much more interesting this time around.

THE SEARCHER, Tana French. Retired Chicago cop moves to remote western Ireland and, against his will, gets involved in a local mystery that puts him at risk. Very well done. Except for the complete bolloxing she does to details about a Henry rifle. Why don’t writers do their homework, which is so easy to do? Fortunately she writes so well, and the story is so well-crafted that I could (almost) overlook the hindrance to the willing suspension of disbelief and appreciate the deeper tale. BLOOD MERIDIAN, Cormac McCarthy. A tale of hell and mayhem on the early western frontier. McCarthy’s prose is dense, incantatory, bardic. Sometimes almost too much. Rich and fragrant like dried blood and the evil just keeps coming. Finished both of them… I have been seeing a ton of folks reading McCarthy lately, since right before he passed away. This one is on my list eventually. After reading Blood Meridian, do you intend to read other McCarthy works, or have you already read other works? |
