@MckyMseNTarotCrds The Orchard Keeper is the worst of his early novels. It's far too beholden to Faulkner, self-conscious and padded. Suttree and Blood Meridian are his masterpieces...both would be in my top 10. Child of God is great, especially if you want a shorter read. You could probably finish it in three hours. Outer Dark is even better, but it's quite weird and it took me a couple reads before I could understand the plot. All the Pretty Horses is good; just avoid the movie.

I always saw Eli Cash's first novel "Wildcat" as a reference to the oft-mentioned Wampus Cat in McCarthy's first novel "The Orchard Keeper"

@MckyMseNTarotCrds I've never read The Orchard Keeper but it probably wasn't his best work. I suggest trying Blood Meridian to get a feel for him at his best.

The only thing I've read by McCarthy is The Orchard Keeper, which I believe is his first novel. Are the later ones, prose-wise, similar? 'Cause, I really loved the story itself, but the prose is often a lot like the sort of overblown, hyper-descriptive prose Eli Cash reads aloud in the movie. I liked the book, I did...but, idk, maybe 'cause it was his first offering, but it really feels like he's trying awfully hard to sound literary or something. Are the later books the same style?

everyone who says his character is nothing like mccarthy, did you even watch the scene of his book reading? his character is basically a parody of mccarthy because he, unlike mccarthy, is very public, considers his writing to be amazing, and even sounds like mccarthy in his descriptions of a landscape. the result is a hilarious portrayal of a guy who thinks he is the next cormac mccarthy when he clearly is an idiot.
