How do you figure?

Sadly this. Like Harper Lee.

He ruined his reputation decades ago when he groomed a runaway teenager.

>>24472492 (OP)
Santa Fe Institute glowie subversion

>>24472530
Are his last two novels the culmination of his scientific studies into consciousness?

He wrote The Road in 2006 though?

>>24472547
One of his best works. A shame he didn't go out on a high note.

>>24472492 (OP)
Are you crying about the tranny?

>>24472573
Are you crying about my thread?

>>24472591
Is that a yes?

>>24472596
Thanks for the answer.

>>24472601
Anytime pal (the answer was no.)

>>24472607
>(the answer was no.)

>>24472573
And why not? Books should be about things that exist instead of promoting degeneracy. We need book burnings today.

>>24472619
Because there was good reason for it in context of the story being about an ostensibly heterosexual man who after returning from a coma and the loss of his love/sister is overwhelmingly preoccupied with the finite nature of his life and family line. Literature probably isn‘t for you if you‘re going to cry about degeneracy while it attempts to address a degenerate world.

Brainlets ITT think he ruined his legacy with a trans character when he actually ruined his legacy by associating himself with AI grifters.

You’re right he should’ve just wrote BM2 where the kid becomes the judge and they spit and eat beans some more

>crying about degeneracy in a Cormac Mccarthy book
>the guy who wrote outer dark, child of God, blood meridian and suttree

the tranny, really? there's another minority group he's pathetically simping for in those last books.

>>24472527
True

McCarthy is an alcoholic Irishman

>>24472677
Stop (actually) noticing

McCarthy is an extremely gifted writer. I don't give two fucks about his legacy or his reputation, all I care about are his books and where they take me.

*spits*

>>24472492 (OP)
It's stupid to think of an artist "ruining" their legacy. Most writers build their reputation off of 3 or 4 great books and the rest is mediocre and little-read. It wouldn't make any difference at all if he wrote Ready Player One or some shit if you can still enjoy Blood Meridian and Suttree.

>>24472693
White LGBTers are my brothers and sisters. I will take them over any non White in a heart beat.

>>24472806
>where they take me
In the outhouse to rape you ig

>>24472851

>>24472851
Wait, are you referencing "Blood Meridian"?

>>24472693
>>24472838
You don't even know how much I want to torture you right now.

>>24472662
>Brainlets ITT think he ruined his legacy with a trans character

It's bait. He's fat and compared his oversized clothes to "a dress". They fell for it. He laughs. They say the Archatron will never let him sleep.

DESU he can write beautiful prose but the more I learn about his personal life and re-reading his works noting all the incest in pedophilia the more I realize he’s a fucking shithead

>>24473584
at least the little boy in the road was safe

>>24473584
>re-reading his works noting all the incest in pedophilia
Examples?

>>24473612
Incest in Child of God and Outer Dark
Necrophilia in Child of God
Pedophilia in BM, Child of God too probably counts, probably a bit of it in The Border Trilogy but I guess if she’s old enough to bleed she’s old enough to butcher

I’m pretty sure there’s more in other novels

While The Orchard Keeper is dark, it isn’t over the top like his following novels, perhaps he mellows out later on

>>24473592
Written for his 2nd son he had with a teenage runaway, which is whatever, but he more or less sacrificed his first family for his freedom and writing career

The Road is like a limpdicked way to make up for being a shitty father, maybe he can write himself as the father he never was and wish he could be

>>24472663
>should’ve wrote
the absolute state of literacy these days

which tranny? what are you people talking about?

>>24473890
Why would I give a fuck about his personal life? He’s not some role model. All I want to do is read his books which I find illuminating.

>>24474091
It helps in interpreting his books to know what he’s done with himself, also “if you see the Buddha, kill the Buddha”, not knowing that your favorite author is in many ways just a bum and a fucking cunt leads to unhealthy attachments or excessive esteem

>>24474191
Do you use the same logic for a favorite actor or singer? If you don’t approve of their lifestyle do you stop watching/listening?

>>24474234
Yes and yes

If a bar or restaurant let out houses or land to rowdy niggers in your town would you still patronize it?

>>24474310
Bar or restaurant owner*

>>24474310
If I liked the bar or restaurant, yes. My boycott of the restaurant is not going to stop them from doing it. Rowdy blacks are a police matter.

at advanced age, most agnostics start hoping for science to prove that God and the soul are real.

>>24474327
In the sense that police will arrest you if you do anything for the decency of your neighborhood yourself

>>24474348
Dude, you’re weird. Go away.

>>24473153
Because you're a seething brownoid yeah?

None of the armchair philosophy comments in this thread are worth anything in the face of the glaring and most obvious factor:

The Santa Fe institute was and is a bunch of reddit dumbasses doing fringe "science", and who treated McC as their animal mascot character for decades. They broke him and they won. So we got an impossibly poorly written genius girl reading Montaigne in a weekend, talking hallucinated animals straight out of bad Pynchon, and pop sci tier physics and math blowharding that he was conditioned into by whiny bitches like Murray Gell-Mann et al. McCarthy couldn't do math and despite his intelligence was susceptible to the environment of hero worship regarding something that, to him, could hardly have been much more than black magic.

Be happy for what we got. In that background, it's a miracle "The Road" was good (but that book came from an unexpected wellspring for Cormac, not his usual brooding).

I'm sure the philosophical angles have valid inputs as well but this is the biggest factor.

>>24474362
Is that what the other kids told you at school?

>>24474362
Women should be ritually raped to disabuse them of the notion there will always be someone or something out there to protect and look after them, or that they’ll have legal recourse to wrongdoings despite having no real inner moral compass

>>24472527
This is based in my book. Dared to love.

>>24474476
Where did this come from? Absolutely morally righteous and correct, transcendentally, perennially, inarguably correct. Women are closer to animals than people and shouldn't have 'rights'.

>>24472492 (OP)
qrd?i haven't read the passanger.

He was always a faggy Redditor and a pseud. He had one exceptional standout book in Blood Meridian which he stumbled on by accident and was credited as a genius as a result.

>>24474465
No, your stupid comment prompted it.

He was writing about trannies all the way back since Suttree. It's not a surprise, he pulls a lot of stuff from the real world.

>24474552

>>24474571
Transvestite is a whole other thing

>>24474560
You are responding to two different posters

I’d say you have no moral compass but you actually do seem to adhere to a morality of keeping up appearances by avoiding the n word and assuming the police are available or will dispense any meaningful justice when the reality is most are fuckups like Tom Bell hence I have a hunch you’re a foid

>>24474767
God, shut up.

>>24474911
>your being right is like, giving me the ick?

the what now? but there's only six months left

Have I missed something? What the fuck is going on? Is this Stella Maris? I liked that book. There wasn't a tranny in there?

>>24474911
>CRITICAL HIT

>>24472497
this but unironically

>>24472693
this meme would be compelling if it wasnt common knowledge that its the jews who push this transgender shit the hardest

>>24472492 (OP)
Who?
>>24475250
It's jews instigating everyone to fight amongst themselves. They more infighting, the less noticing, the more cracks jews can slip into.

>>24474191
Thinking about the artist is for midwits. They can’t think about the book deeply enough, so they find surface level armchair psychology reasons to reject it. It’s rarely for good reasons and always ressentiment. after reading that interview of Brandon Sanderson where this snobby writer was looking for any way to bring him down, it seems that’s the reflex of the mediocre. Dude probably never even wrote a novella but wanted to take down a prolific writer to feel better about himself.

>>24474384
McCarthy literally studied physics for a bit in uni, he just wasn’t good enough to be “one of the greats”. He himself has stated pursuing writing purely out of ego because he was great at it.

>>24475298
You don’t have to reject the artist entirely for his life, kvetching about is reading the Early Life section is like-coded, sorry your hero ain’t that great

>>24475323
Us, kike

>>24475298
I guess I should hold my tongue and eat my humble pie since I don’t aspire to be a writer and can’t even make a judgement for my own self let alone reach the heights of this short story writer

The man is undeniably a degenerate

Why are you guys talking about trannies? I've only read Blood Meridian. Tell me there's not a tranny in one of his books... please.

>>24475573
>The man is undeniably a degenerate
Anyone who claims he can weld anything is degenerate.

>>24475534
>gay incest in The Crossing
Projection much?

>>24475656
Lester Ballard has a moment where he dresses in women’s clothes and other accoutrements in Child of God, and so could be labeled a transvestite

>>24472619
>Books should be about things that exist
Huh? Transgender people exist. Should sci-fi/fantasy not be written?

>>24476846
Books should not be written about things that shouldn’t exist
