When my kid was, like, 10 I pulled a Cormac McCarthy novel off a shelf to make a point about the style of prose and what it adds to a read; how come he could get it and - you know what, never mind
lol
he’s a perfect example, I didn’t like the NCFOM film because it had flaws that were all there in the book which I hadn’t noticed because of how good his prose is
but also a ten-year-old audience? oh god
