Reacher: Killing Floor (Movie Tie-In)

Lee Child
James Tate HillJames Tate Hill

The new Jack Reacher is more in line with Lee Child's vision of the character as a hulking, towering figure, & I guess I'm curious, on a narrative level, why a hulking, towering figure makes a more compelling hero than someone of modest stature who kicks the same amount of ass..

Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West

Cormac McCarthy
James Tate HillJames Tate Hill

Until 1992's All the Pretty Horses, none of Cormac McCarthy's novels had sold more than 5000 copies, including 1985's Blood Meridian, which many consider his best. His 1st novel came out in 1965. The impatience of contemporary publishing cannot give us another Cormac McCarthy.
