Everything he published before Blood Meridian was pretty good desu, particularly Suttree and Child of God. And if anything most normies know him for The Road (a mediocre book) and No Country (a good book made into a good movie).

I'm not even remotely trolling.
Suttree is tryhard modernist garbage. All the Pretty Horses is Lifetime movie tier. The Road is decent, but it's like New York Times bestseller tier and a 7/10 at best.
Blood Meridian is his only legitimate masterpiece.
