More About Me
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Cormac McCarthy, from Blood Meridian. His language and syntax is more nuanced and demanding in this novel than the others I’ve read, The Road and No Country for Old Men, but it is also more rewarding. “Razorous” appears to be a creation of his, as I’ve been unable to confirm its existence in any dictionary. The connotation, however, is absolutely perfect and caused me to reread this sentence and its surrounding paragraph several times (a common response some fifty pages in). There isn’t a better word I can think of to help visualize dawn in these great open spaces, the sun’s first rays shearing the landscape at impossibly sharp angles.
