“The indulgent 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore and people need to get used to that. If you think you’re going to write something like “The Brothers Karamazov” or “Moby-Dick,” go ahead. Nobody will read it. I don’t care how good it is, or how smart the readers are. Their intentions, their brains are different.”
—CORMAC MCCARTHY, The Wall Street Journal, Nov. 20, 2009
Cormac McCarthy is a cantankerous old man. He should cheer up.
