This week’s episode closes out the year with a special focus on the novel Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. We argue that this is the Great American Novel, which is a title that literature snobs always want to say has not been written yet. We discuss not just how it fits into the American mythology of the West, but its beautiful language. McCarthy might not have written the Great American Novel in your opinion, but he wrote America’s greatest character, the Judge.
