Date: September 29th, 2017 4:43 PM Author: cyan sanctuary There is very little masculine literary fiction published anymore because there is no market for it. It is a woman and gay man's game now. For all his faults, McCarthy is writing thematically complex books with plots involving genuinely masculine men in life or death struggles. No compromises. No gay characters with MFA's living in Brooklyn. He is among the last of a dying breed.
The dark subject matter and intentionally abstruse writing style of McCarthy is like catnip for male pseudo-intellectual literary types. There is hardly anyone like him writing today and saying Blood Meridian is your favorite novel is a way for a certain type of person to signify intelligence and depth. It is why similar men will go on and on about Thomas Pynchon or David Foster Wallace.

Favorite author? |

Date: September 29th, 2017 4:58 PM Author: cyan sanctuary That is tough. Some names that come to mind: Denis Johnson, James Dickey, James Salter, Colin Harrison, James Lasdun, James Ellroy. Lots of guys named James now that I read this list again...
Always open to recommendations. |

Read any Sebald? |

Date: September 29th, 2017 5:10 PM Author: cyan sanctuary Ordering Rings of Saturn now. Sounds 180.
Any other recommendations? I have read mainly historical nonfiction for years now because of my bias against modern fiction. |

Date: September 29th, 2017 5:13 PM Author: hyperventilating step-uncle's house messiness Brother I am in the same boat. I read history and pop science for the most part, and when I go fiction I mainly go old. Modern fiction is a ghetto. I picked up this book (https://www.amazon.com/Days-Without-End-Sebastian-Barry/dp/0525427368) thinking it would be a 180 western and turns out its about 2 cross dressing gay dudes fucking each other during the decades spanning the old west and civil war (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3747686&forum_id=2#34327364) |

Date: September 29th, 2017 5:19 PM Author: cyan sanctuary LMAO. I read a lot of pop science/philosophy stuff too, like Immortality, Quantum, and Why Does the World Exist. I wonder if this is a broader trend and straight men just stick to history/science now because modern literature is pure garbage?
