Cormac is/was the only writer who can write like that without sounding like a wishy-washy narcissist. When I was a wee-lad, a young man, I'd try to use big words to sound smart and it just made me sound stupid. Then I learned to write short and small, using little words in big ways and short sentences that said a lot. It made me feel like a real man. Like Bukowski or Hemingway. Then I discovered Cormac. Man, could the guy sing words into crevices and fissures of fromalidian gissures of gluminoxial pandorian chests of quigillian equinoxes, wolf's bane bitterness emoxillated betwixt leviathans of brevity. No, no, no. Cormac is Cormac. You are you and I am me. Mere mortals burdened with our brainlessness. Suttree may be his masterpiece. I am a fool.
