This was an ok read only because it was rather brief. Not what I would consider one of McCarthy’s best pieces of work.

I really wanted to like McCarthy’s last novel. It brought “The Passenger” together for me somewhat, and the audiobook performance was phenomenal, but the book itself just felt tired and morose. Another romanticization of a suicidal intellectual burdened by their own genius… it just felt like an exhausted trope.
