what Cormac McCarthy book should you read first?
Figuring out a reading order for Cormac McCarthy can be hard. Some of McCarthy's works are inaccessible to beginner readers, and other books may not be exciting or dynamic enough for more fluff readers. So today I'll be outlining three different reader archetypes and providing a Cormac McCarthy reading order for them! Comment your thoughts down below to help create some data for a future video where I create a 1-12 reading order for these reader archetypes.
The three archetypes are
Fluff Reader 0:45 - 3:24
Intelligent Reader 3:25 - 6:12
Literary Bro 6:13 - 8:55

Cormac McCarthy's "The Passenger" is a MASTERPIECE 💜
Cormac McCarthy's new novel "The Passenger" is a work of ART. Do not listen to the bad reviews or hijacked political literary media. They are lost in a simulacra loop and haven't seen nature except on their tour of a national park in a rental car!

Cormac McCarthy's Return to SOUTHERN LITERATURE
Cormac McCarthy in his new novels "The Passenger" and "Stela Maris" returns to the south. McCarthy is from the south and set his first three novels there. But, other than that we haven't gotten glimpses of his take on the south in decades. We also haven't witnessed a more modern McCarthean take on the south before.

Post-Colonial Love Poem Analysis - Natalie Diaz
Today, I will be doing a review and analysis of "Post-Colonial Love Poem" by Natalie Diaz. This won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry for 2020! First of all, Natalie Diaz is a very nice human being, and one of the more pleasurable authors I've had the chance to meet. She also has mastered the ability to weave in political and emotional topics with nature, spirituality, and deeper things. Almost no mainstream poets can do that.

ANNIE ERNAUX WON THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022?
Annie Ernaux is the winner everyone! Ernaux just won the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2022. But, am I in a time loop?? Have any of you guys heard of Annie Ernaux?? The Nobel Committee for literature is corrupt and loves to tell us peasants who we need to read. But, we are not idiots! We know there are HUNDREDS of objectively better authors than Annie Ernaux who are glossed over because of their politics, nationality, religion, race, gender, and other factors. The university system and other major book awards have also been hijacked. It never ends!!
