Currently reading The Orchid Keeper. Can't wait to get to Suttree to listen to this!

At 47, I wishfully regret that that the courses that you put on the internet for free were half as captivating and thought provoking as what I listen to in in school and so arduously sought out thereafter. It has become a portion of the moments that I find between my toils. I am grateful that you teach the way you do and that there are students of yours that are listening. At the very least, you are helping me see these stories in a way that I simply could not in my youth. I went back and out edited every bit of punctuation I could personally allow in the spirit of the subject. Keep going, please.

Thank you!

thank you for making this type of content available to us

Oh what a treat! I want to be in your class!

Brother man, you are churning these out faster than I can read the books! Happy to see I'll have something to come back to when I'm ready for Suttree.

Thank you so much for allowing us into your classroom.

my pleasure!

I really enjoyed this. Lots of material on Blood Meridian but not much on Suttree. I am haunted by this book and Suttree crushed at the gravesite years after reading. It has changed me. Can’t wait for part two.

Love the format and hope you keep these up ! Would love to see a lecture series on Child of God 👍🏽

Thank you for sharing this!

I am going to listen to this series to satisfy my curiosity. I read Suttree to its conclusion, but it was an effort. Unlike Blood Meridian, The Road, or the Border Trilogy, I was not anxious to find out what would happen and there was no character I cared about. The main characters, especially Suttree himself, are repellent. I am curious of what McCarthy was thinking with this work.

Hell yeah dude

Beautiful

If you dont mind me asking, what type of professor are you? As in what subject do you teach
