Title: The Emperor has no prose.
Product review: I am a Cormac Mccarthy fan and believe the Border Trilogy will be a literary classic for generations to come. This bit of overwritten pretension is more like Waiting for Godot without wit or style. I am a Faulkner fan, too, but would not recommend The Fable to newcomers. The Road is similar, all symbolism without character, never to have found a publisher without the author's fame and unlikely to find many readers in the future. No Country for Old Men was a delight and I believe this book is an anomaly. As the post-nuclear wasteland of The Road points out over and over, mistakes do happen and I look forward to the author's next book.
