> Great writers can do this with only a few lines. Bad writers, on the other hand, cannot so they compensate by adding layers and layers irrelevant "depth" to make them seem lifelike when they're really not.
Well, quite often it's but trendy filler or pseudo-intellectual shibboleths. See also Aragorn Never Had an Identity Crisis.
But then, much the same can be said about great many other things. No tool makes good writing on its own. It's just that whatever becomes fashionable ends up the most annoying due to repetition. Which is how things stop being fashionable, of course.

This depends entirely on the story you're trying to tell and the character you're trying to portray. Stories are defined by the conflicts they portray, and the conflict of man vs self doesn't make any sense unless your character does have some depth. LOTR would not be improved by adding depth to Sauron, but Crime and Punishment would be a very confusing story if Raskolnikov didn't have layers and conflicting motivations.

I'm married with kids and can say that I hate all women except like 5 percent and I'd eventually hate them too with enough sexposure

Bad list, it need more women and latinx writers.

A good story connects emotionally, psychically, and intellectually. It should be absorbed rather than consciously consumed, like viewing someone else's dream.

>>5166 yea but is it million sales tho

Write something to the feminine public, OP, if you plan is just to make massive among of money.

>>5018
oc Ramonposter here, you don't have to be so tough on OP, he's autistic, but innocent.

>>5018

>autistic

Just do your own research about the top selling novels, especially own america, is always books wrote for women

>>5034 no i mean quantitative detail on why things sells this much and such

I'll ask again, which one of his books is your favorite ones and which one you dislike the most.
I've read the The Passenger yet, but people tell me it's trash just like Stella Maris.

McCarthy is "Southern Gothic" in the line of Faulkner and O'Connor. This genre observes the destitution of the Civil War South. McCarthy is artistically and politically closer to Faulkner who I dislike because he was a liberal. O'Connor was a real Southerner and the better writer. Faulkner was very performative in his Southernness. He leaned too heavily into his celebrity status. McCarthy was a liberal up until No Country and the Road.
Blood Meridian is overrated. The language is artsy and pretentious. Melville's Moby Dick thematically dominates the book. It really is a transcription of Moby Dick onto the Wild West. Melville was a nigger loving Yankee and McCarthy prepares room in BM for some nigger triumphalism.
No Country takes Blood Meridian and inverts its racial moral dichotomy while also emptying BM's rhetorical contrivances, all of which gives the book a more realistic effect. It's my favorite.
ATPH and the whole "border series" are strangely innocent books in the context of McCarthy's work and were obviously written for mass consumption. He needed the money and it brought him a lot of public recognition.
I haven't read his two latest books and may never will if the tranny character rumor I heard is true.

>>5083
Well, I brought some William Faulkner books yesterday. I still want to read Blood Meridian.
Give me a recommendation of the best books of O'Cooner and the ones you like the most of McCarthy, without being No Country for Old Men.

Overrated "genius"

They are right?

Which from his books is objectively the better one?

The Industrial Society and Its Future will forever be his great classic. The Anti-Tech Revolution is essentially an expanded version of that manifesto but he rambles a lot in it. It does have a great btfo of transhumanism though. The System's neatest trick is also great. What's sad is that he was working on another book which he hoped would be his masterpiece before he died. Hopefully they'll publish the unfinished manuscript.

I'm glad we got to read his little ditty before he passed. A true gangsta clit nigga.

>>4957
I only own The Industrial Society and Its Future, never had the opportunity to reads his other works, I have always received divergent opinions about his other books.
