I know this is an old video, but Jesse got me into reading, particularly Murakami and McCarthy, so to find this years later brings a much needed warmth rn. Great conversation with one of the best musicians I’ve discovered
One of my favorite books ever! Read this while I lived in Knoxville, and it was really enthralling reading it while being able to walk throughthe locations mentioned in the book
I just read this for the second time. God, I love this novel so much and it’s rare to find people discussing it. Thanks so much. Two of my favorite scenes. 1: after the river girl dies and suttree runs into a king Lear esc storm and asks the storm “am I a monster? Are there monsters in me?” A beautiful moment after years of suffering, one of final introspection which is so rare in Cormac. My second is at the end after a hallucinogenic incredibly written dream over demons and angels and monsters and past lives. The priest tells him god was watching over him but stutter replies “you have no idea what watches over us”
Two that come to mind are: "My life is ghastly", he told the grass. and "I am a mouse in a grassbole sleeping. But I can hear come whicket and swish the clocklike blade of the cradle..."
Not only is the most recent album in my Apple music the new ERRA album, but I’m currently half way through re-reading Suttree. Very weird how things can line up. Thank you for making my day!
My only issue with the ending interpretation is that he talks to Gene’s sister right after he finds the body. They have a full conversation about Gene being in prison.

Awesome. Glad you found it.

Would love to walk through more cities/plains/deserts of McCarthy's worlds to get a greater feel for them. Cheers.

Synchronicity!
I just listened to almost 20 hours and TH-cam snatched the channel. Ugggh
I love this book so much!!
It is a damn fine book. Damn fine.

That ending interpretation is just silly.
Fair enough.
