Cormac McCarthy vs. Thomas Pynchon

Update: Based entirely upon today’s events in the Tournament of Books, Oprah returns to fiction with today’s winner (thanks for the heads up, Russ)

    SIGH.

    I think McCarthy’s next book ought to be a post-apocolyptic tale in which a father and son are the last survivors on Earth and come upon a library in which the only books to read are by Pynchon.

    Russ: I’m taking the day off when Cormac McCarthy has dinner with Oprah.

    Shaft: That’s the most post-modern thing I’ve heard all day.

    Open question: Does The road now become a self-fulfilling prophecy – i.e., Oprah picking The Road must surely be one of the signs of the apocalypse (my Revelations is a little rusty)….
