A recent Vanity Fair article pulled the curtain back on a long time relationship Cormac McCarthy had with a woman named Augusta Britt.

Often heralded as one of the greatest American authors of all time, McCarthy is known for his southern gothic novels, which tackle themes of violence, free will, luck, and other dark and brooding subjects.

While some may say it should be expected that someone able to create such serious art would be a troubled soul, for many it was a shock to hear that McCarthy's relationship with Britt started when she was only 16 years of age.

Today we're discussing Cormac McCarthy, and more broadly, separating the art from the artist.

We all have our preferences when it comes to books, so today Andy and I are going over our biggest red flags in books, and what is usually a big turnoff for us when choosing what to read.

We also take some time to discuss things we don't like about the book community in general.

We would love to know what your biggest red flags are in a book, so make sure to let us know down below!

The journey has been slow as I am not solely focusing on this project. I've made some great progress in Europe and Asia, but Latin America has been a bit of a weak spot for me.

Andy has read a few more books from the South American region, so today we are discussing some of the works we've read from these countries, what we think of them.

#books #bookpodcast #literature

Few philosophical or artistic movements have been debated quite like postmodernism, yet despite the ongoing debate about what postmodernism really is, the phrase was probably one most weren't familiar with until public figures like Jordan Peterson warned everyone about the "postmodern neo-marxists!"

Some people seem to think that postmodern writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, and David Foster Wallace are brilliant writers and thinkers, while others have called their books sophomoric, juvenile, or just plain nonsensical.

In today's episode we are joined by our friend Seth aka WASTE Mailing List on social media, who is, in our opinion, one of the most interesting figures on book social, having read some extremely experimental works of some of the most progressive writers, as well as put together some of the most in depth reviews of those works.

Together we attempt to answer the question "what is postmodern literature?"

You can follow Seth on social media at:
