“First off, wanted to say thanks, Scott. The content is consistently great and I’ve enjoyed listening for years. Although I’m a little shocked at your (and other McCarthy folk’s) lukewarm feelings on the Passenger from the most recent episode. To me it has so much ideological, thematic, emotional depth and some stunning sections of prose - it far surpassed my expectations. When you said off the bat that it was a lesser work, I couldn’t believe it. To me, this book is really only comparable to “Suttree” and “Blood Meridian” in terms of the shear force of idea being presented. Maybe I’ll understand your criticisms a bit better once you and guests dive in a bit more.”
