it is something special.
I love McCarthy because of the essential bleak nihilism he confronts you with. He uses violence as an everyday to demonstrate the worthlessness of life - or rather, to force you to find your own worth of human life.
He throws slims slivers of "meaning" of existence at you, which you grab onto desperately - a small incadescent torch away in the distant, and constantly challenges you to come to terms with how you make life matter.
It's just a shame that i only realised what he was about after No Country. I mean, my whole life i thought he was some pop Airport novelist like Stephen King or John Grisham or something... how wrong i was.
