Less that Blood Meridian is one of the greatest works of literature ever produced by the human race, more that it's a great work of literature and the point of the thread is to take great literature and trivialize it.

What about Blood Meridian do you not like, senpai?

Just started this book... at the part where they get ambushed in the desert. I hate his writing style so much. It is the most hipster fucking prose I've ever laid eyes on... "I'm going to make really chopped up sentences that intentionally force the reader to go back and reread and realize that instead of just stating something simply I have to mentally masturbate on muh pages"

Fuck Cormac McCarthy.

He's 'evoking' (copying) the prose style of literary greats. Readers enjoy this because it lets them talk about it with other people and make obscure references and appear well-read.

Slap it on some middlebrow story about how war is survival of the fittest, and boom, you've written a good book, according to some.
