>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 12:09:46 2019 No.12913032 One of my professors once said The Road by Cormac McCarthy was one of his weakest novels, trying to hide its lack of substance behind stylistic flourishes and now that thought nags me whenever I reread it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 12:14:19 2019 No.12913060 >>12913032 This should be obvious to anyone who has read the Road and any good McCarthy novel.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 12:30:04 2019 No.12913157 >>12913060 In all fairness it was my first exposure to McCarthy and I've only read No Country For Old Men and half of Blood Meridian.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 10 12:30:10 2019 No.12913158 >>12913032 Nothing about that statement is controversial. I read the Road in highschool and assumed McCarthy was a hack for years
