Status Updates From Cavalli selvaggi

I also meant to mention earlier I really like how he writes the women of this book, even if the role they play is a small one. It’s respectable and they are powerful, even in the small amount of power they have. The woman, Alfonsa, John spoke with in particular is probably my favorite character besides John himself

McCarthy uses sexuality as a power in all the novels I’ve read of him so far. Some ways more than others. In Blood Meridian with the Judge over children and how others saw and viewed the Kid; in the Road with the cannibals who ate and raped; and now in this book with the captain and Rawlins. Even if in this book it is much smaller than the other books.

La historia no empieza a tomar forma del todo. Pero la descripción de cada ubicación es preciosa.
