    Reminded that this is one of the great literary essays of the century...a creative non-fiction fictionalization of a real person’s artistic creation.

    Makes little sense to me to stop reading Cormac McCarthy, especially Cormac Jr.'s decision to. The books were the same five days ago as they are today. The naivety of trying to avoid problematic people's art. Good luck.
