I'm a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy, but was very disappointed
by _All The Pretty Horses_. I am now curious about the Coen
Bros. version of NCFOM, particularly how they handle film
time versus literary time, which McCarthy handles
masterfully. One question: if it's so faithful, how can it
become crud in the last half hour? That part of the book
rocks...
