Having just finished the novel, I must say it's the one that fits the internet stereotype of Cormac McCarthy perfectly: a bunch of monosyllabic idiots bumbled around a beautifully described wasteland until they all come to bad ends, featuring baby canabalism. I think it's interesting in your discussions with the class, you only the very beginning and very end of the book, and barely talk about any of the vignettes that comprise most of The Outer Dark.
These paintings though. Where do you find them?
You and your students genuinely make me miss academia!!!
Great to listen to and the different ideas are interesting. One thing to request : next podcast please no ice?😉
I was just about to say the Turner Diaries. Kudos to that guy who knew about that.
