it was the same feeling as when he was a younger boy, during recess with the other schoolchildren, when he had boldly proclaimed his superiority, and when warned by the sixth grade physics olympiad title holder (who being a full year older imparted a world of wisdom) that he had consumed too much ice cream and cake, lost to one his lesser-known competitors, a wobbly legged, bespectacled sporophyte, and became the laughingstock of his friends and enemies, due solely to an ignorance of his bodily humors.

James Wood nailed it: his schtick is typing out histrionic faux-historical prose. Practically unreadable. Anyone who has a hard on for Blood Meridian is the epitome of a pseudo-intellectual.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/07/25/red-planet

He is also one of the great hams of American prose, who delights in producing a histrionic rhetoric that brilliantly ventriloquizes the King James Bible, Shakespearean and Jacobean tragedy, Melville, Conrad, and Faulkner.

"He shifted the pack higher on his shoulders and looked out over the wasted country.

The road was empty.

Below in the little valley the still gray serpentine of a river. Motionless and precise. Along the shore a burden of dead reeds.

Are you okay? he said.

The boy nodded.

Then they set out along the blacktop in the gunmetal light, shuffling through the ash, each the other's world entire."

There is very little masculine literary fiction published anymore because there is no market for it. It is a woman and gay man's game now. For all his faults, McCarthy is writing thematically complex books with plots involving genuinely masculine men in life or death struggles. No compromises. No gay characters with MFA's living in Brooklyn. He is among the last of a dying breed.

The dark subject matter and intentionally abstruse writing style of McCarthy is like catnip for male pseudo-intellectual literary types. There is hardly anyone like him writing today and saying Blood Meridian is your favorite novel is a way for a certain type of person to signify intelligence and depth. It is why similar men will go on and on about Thomas Pynchon or David Foster Wallace.

That is tough. Some names that come to mind: Denis Johnson, James Dickey, James Salter, Colin Harrison, James Lasdun, James Ellroy. Lots of guys named James now that I read this list again...

Always open to recommendations.

Rings of Saturn is 18000. Austerlitz is also great. On the Natural History of Destruction is very good historical essay writing (topic is German cultural memory of the WWII firebombings)

Ordering Rings of Saturn now. Sounds 180.

Any other recommendations? I have read mainly historical nonfiction for years now because of my bias against modern fiction.

Brother I am in the same boat. I read history and pop science for the most part, and when I go fiction I mainly go old. Modern fiction is a ghetto. I picked up this book (https://www.amazon.com/Days-Without-End-Sebastian-Barry/dp/0525427368) thinking it would be a 180 western and turns out its about 2 cross dressing gay dudes fucking each other during the decades spanning the old west and civil war

LMAO. I read a lot of pop science/philosophy stuff too, like Immortality, Quantum, and Why Does the World Exist. I wonder if this is a broader trend and straight men just stick to history/science now because modern literature is pure garbage?
