@UnicornFren What exactly do you mean by monstrosity in one writer’s soul, do you think McCarthy stands with a cynical perspective of history?

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

By the end of the novel, The Kid has grown up to be a better man, he’s left the old life behind him and become a man, who guides lost travelers. He’s not a detective per se, but he does carry the heroic persona that the detective, the knight, the sheriff, and the Samurai have

@AlexandersDad @TradLibrarian How is it a detective story?🤔

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@UnicornFren You are right though that you can’t just enter into the American mind, that alone could drive you mad, let alone seeing the worst of our history. Will should start with some other southerners, who are not less true, but easier to understand the American

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@UnicornFren That’s what we’re talking about

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@writriverdale The detective is an archetype of the hero

@UnicornFren 1 being Gerard Manley Hopkins, right?

@SquareCircle01 I would read No Country just to see if you like his style of writing, then The Road to see if you can handle the intensity. Blood Meridian should be the last one

@sardonic_greek I really liked Tom Hiddleston’s rendition in The Hollow Crown series

@RhyminCarly I had a good Catholic therapist once. I trusted him more than any other because his goal was to make me no longer need him. I didn’t feel like he tried to make me see him longer than I needed to

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@SquareCircle01 It’s one of my favorite novels, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Have you read The Road, or No Country For Old Men?

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@writriverdale @TradLibrarian I believe I have! Many years ago

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@writriverdale @TradLibrarian I always thought of the castle on the river, near the ferry, was attempt to dominate the fae of the west, which was their ruin.

This is the *logical* conclusion of desacramentalzing the act of marriage. You can’t have even a tiny amount of it. Sorry social conservatives, you either get God, or you get a world of failed marriage. You can’t have a happy society, built upon marriage, unless God is the center

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

I always find these secular reflections on marriage interesting because these experiences of marriage are grounded in some real truth. If you separate your marriage from God, of course it’s going to end in disaster, and lead to misery.

“Wicker” shows just how suffocating marriage can be—and asks whether the institution is simply incompatible with love, @fhill_official writes: https://t.co/urSBpFfgy3

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@CDogmatics If that’s the case than marriage has been the single greatest psyop in history

[The Green Stick @AlexandersDad]

@writriverdale @TradLibrarian Me, thinking you would question the fairy story part:
