My favorite of the three, I think. Shakespearean tragedy of cowboys. I already know I’m going to returning to that epilogue many, many times.

My hot take is that this is better than “The Crossing”

Back and forth between “this is the most amazing piece of writing I’ve ever read” and skimming through 10 pages of what was probably really deep and insightful monologue but just not enough to keep my attention. Cormac McCarthy may be my favorite author ever, once my emotions recover (if they possibly can) after reading 4 of his novels in a row.
