Stupid question– is Blood Meridian meant to be comedic at times?

…Because I only just read the first chapter, and I know it’s gonna throw me for a loop, but come on. This whole sequence of events feels like a parody of Westerns– Specifically the “everyone in a bar gets into a fight” trope. I feel like it’s playing out like a Three Stooges sketch....

“The writer hated commas and semi colons and full stops and anything that would let a man take rest and contemplate both the novel and his station in life and often to the extent that every paragraph was actually just one endless sentence doing violence to that man’s ability to parse and consider all those elements and often something about bush craft and coffee and something about horses.”

I almost died in my sleep commuting home from a job that barely covered fuel costs. Never again.

Is there something wrong with the last 6 images, seem a little blocky/compressed?

Well done pressure washing, very therapeutic. I’ve got one myself but no outdoor spigot to attach.

Fair enough, I’ve had other folks not have things I’ve posted loaded properly. As long as others can see it that’s cool ;)
