Blood Meridian and Suttree.

Almost?

You just posted one, OP.

Even a quick look at the canon will yield dead writers so alabaster in their mediocrity you'll wonder how anyone saw them when they were alive. Stay connected or let old white guys from last century choose for you and lose all sense of judgment and perspective.

You have taste and discernment? Prove it.

I like these kinds of idiots who think that any kind of canonicity is somehow a total subservience to their monolithic, evil white man.
It’s as if they’d never heard of a recommended reading list from which you pick and choose.
