Title: is there anything one can learn from a novel?
Review: is there anything one can learn from a novel? The answer is perhaps not always a straight forward "no" but in the case of 'no country for old men' it definitely is. The ultimate impact of this book on reader is pessimism and the feeling of being cheated by a pulp-fiction disguised as "literature". I think it is no more than a Quentin Tarantino type disturbance.It contains an extremely violent (almost disgusting) pursuit story combined with very odd, very conservative and ultimately boring family-values philosophy. It seems that for the author the inner thoughts like: I took a war decoration which I don't deserve , or , 'I am so lucky because I am married with my wife' reflects the highest level of sophistication one can possibly reach at the end of her/his life.There is a deeper world than this !!!!
