once again im gagged dumbfounded and incredulous over how this mf wrote this
a crazy slow burn but once the wheel turns it really punches you in the gut and heart. both an admonishment and a historically aligned account of the American South’s self-destruction in the tragic story of this man who like the rest of the Southern plantation owners (maybe to a larger extent any power-hungry person like ever) wanted to become God but failed under the failed realization of life’s unpredictability and the sad reality of a system that was already bound to self-destruct in its incarnation.
its crazy how bro wrote this and showed the folly and sadness of the south yet still supported segregation i mean idk maybe hes like quentin in his inability to fully repudiate the south because of his own family’s history, showing how if he hates the South he knowingly hates the very essence of himself. honestly a perfrct accompaniment to “the brutalist.”
