I don't think you've read enough great novels to judge. Anyway, writing is a process. You should feel privileged that I've shared my struggle with you. Most of Cormac's life he lived in a barn with no plumbing, and sold 5,000 copies of all his novels combined before All the Pretty Horses. You're like those Ute fans who wanted to fire Whit after the Vegas game in 2007.
Let me know when you FINISH A Bend in the River. I won't hold my breath.

You're like many people in this world who do not achieve their potential--they are unwilling to take advice.
Humility.
I don't have the time to read "impenetrable" novels. If the writing isn't interesting enough to bring me along, well, I got other things to do.
