I agree, David, I love McCarthy's writing and was spellbound by 'The Road.'
Thank you David. I would agree that Cormac McCarthy is an amazing writer. Any other contemporary authors you would recommend? Thank you for your time.
Well, there's a darkness in McCarthy that makes me think of J.M. Coetzee, Waiting for the Barbarians, and whose Master of St Petersburg may lead you to Dostoevsky. W.G. Sebald is another guy you might try. But I am following the trail here of similarly great writers who reach into the darkness.
Have you read László Krasznahorkai or any of the Hungarians?
