Ok well the first ~15 pages are DENSE as anything I’ve read - McCarthy’s bank of nouns is unreal, but the challenge has calmed down and I am SO strapped in. Our wounded social outsider, but not a Henry Miller type that thinks he’s transcended anything with his bohemian superiority complex laughs. That Patti Smith song where she yells “outside of society!” plays in my head

This book is going to take me 500 years to read. Seems like it will be worth it though
