McCarthy wrote a minimum of 5 better books than Lonesome Dove.

Moby Dick is the great American novel. Blood Meridian does far more to demythologize the American cowboy.

It’s not supposed to be a book about some grand idea. And I don’t consider it a Western, even if that’s the setting. It’s transcends that theme. It’s an unrivaled character and relationship study

Just started it because I grew up watching the mini series. I’ve heard it’s Stephen Kings favorite book and it’s probably because of the way he does engaging character perspective

like to see other great American novel recommendations. besides the obvious catcher in the rye, Great Gatsby, and killer pizza; my recs would be Pet Sematary, Alice in wonderland, and Carrie

I’m not sure if he wanted to dismantle those systems, but rather show the reader how vile things were (and still are?). But yes, those characters are unlike any I have read

I think this is a very fair review. I agree it romanticizes cowboys more than it decontructs them.

From a character driven standpoint, it’s one of the best! Agree that the thematic approach doesn’t stray far from the traditional American-Western myth.

Just realized that it’s a series. Should I start with the first book or the third which is Lonesome Dove?

Blake Kiger :
Goodreads says it’s the third book in a series, can I read it stand alone? Or do I need to read the other 2?
