AKA, Blood Meridian is a much more complex book in terms of language, but not less visceral than The Road. This is the book that should've gotten the Pulitzer, but I guess he wasn't serious on the Pulitzer radar at the time. I still think The Road is an astounding book worthy of Hemingway. Still, I wouldn't go as far as entroducing in assessment of McCarthy's merits as a writer. I can't judge Kafka's mastery of language, because I think that requires reading him in German, but saying McCarthy is a more prolific writer than Joyce takes some balls.
