      From: rattle@dontemailme.com              In article <403BF3C3.7060402@texas.net>, firstinitiallastname@texas.net says...              >McCarthy's novels are really about people and       >very little about people and the land.

Also, I wonder       if McCarthy has spent much time on a       horse himself.              Incidentally, as far as I know he moved       from El Paso several years ago. I wonder       what he's writing about now from wherever       he landed - Santa Fe I seem to recall.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
