He was my favorite living author. Blood Meridian is a modern masterpiece. I think it will stand the test of time and will be read for generations, more so than some of his other work. I think his entire collection is wonderful, but I think that one in particular will still be read 100 years from now (if there is a ‘we’ to be reading thing 100 years from now).
Either way, you will be missed and thank you for staying with it even when you were destitute.
I’m so thankful he didn’t become posthumously famous but instead passed away being viewed as a modern master.
