Mere galskab og nyt hardware

Så kom Pioneer DV-370'eren i hus og den kører som den skal. Jeg køber ikke DVD'er hos Laserdisken, men må sige, at servicen når det kommer til køb af afspillere i hvert fald er i top.

Og så lige lidt mere kræs fra Mr. McCarthy:

"The white man looked up drunkenly and the black stepped forward and with a single stroke swapt off his head. Two thick ropes of dark blood and two slender rose like snakes from the stump of his neck and arched hissing into the fire. The head rolled to the left and came to rest at the expriest's feet where it lay with eyes aghast. Tobin jerked his foot away and rose and stepped back. The fire steamed and blackened and a gray cloud of smoke rose and the columnar arches of blood slowly subsided until just the neck bubbled gently like a stew and then that too was stilled. He was sat as before save headless, drenched in blood, the cigarillo still between his fingers, leaning toward the dark and smoking grotto in the flames where his life had gone."

Er der noget som sådanne grusomheder fortalt på en malende, men også nærmest smuk måde? Man ser iøvrigt også William Faulkners indflydelse i form af de lange sætninger og brugen af "and" som binder linjerne sammen ud i det uendelige. Det her er dog minimalt i forhold til andre sætninger i Blood Meridian og Faulkner kunne fortsætte med sætninger der løb på flere sider.
