There is a moonshaped rictus in the streetlamp’s globe where a stone has gone and from this aperture there drifts down through the constant helix of aspiring insects a faint and steady rain of the same forms burnt and lifeless.

The crawdaddies slumped in their muddy banks as the spider fingered blacks stopped down to gather the cotton and cried out like wild dog gatherings and they were hollering out in the serpentine meandering rivers in the heat of the obsidian night with chiropteran wings blotting out the silvern moon for the black spider fingers were grasping up at the dead sky like tenebrous rhododendrons.

never read this book but i think this prose is really good. maybe its cause i have ADHD but i find it weirdly easy to understand

Stream of consciousness maybe
How do you find this?
>What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with a little squeak of the hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air. How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet (for a girl of eighteen as she then was) solemn, feeling as she did, standing there at the open window, that something awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smoke winding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh said, “Musing among the vegetables?”—was that it?—“I prefer men to cauliflowers”—was that it? He must have said it at breakfast one morning when she had gone out on to the terrace—Peter Walsh. He would be back from India one of these days, June or July, she forgot which, for his letters were awfully dull; it was his sayings one remembered; his eyes, his pocket-knife, his smile, his grumpiness and, when millions of things had utterly vanished—how strange it was!—a few sayings like this about cabbages.

Best little old drink in the world

Although I like the the story and themes of Blood Meridian, I find the prose very tedious to get through. Would I like some of Cormac McC. other books better?

McCarthy never writes stream of consciousness

>>24473975
I don't think McCarthy was trying to make his descriptions hard to read. Even with the words I don't know there's still the context to take an impression from them.

The Road or no country for old men

>>24474167

Like other anon said The Road is a worthy read in your case. But instead I'd encourage you to blindly, without research, read Child of God first. Challenge in prose is there, but compared to BM, it's cake.
