Just read The Passenger. Will post my hotly-anticipated review when everything is back up; in the meantime, objective Cormac McCarthy ranking will be in the comments of this thread. (Also general The Passenger discussion thread)

Anyone else feeling the submission grind? I've more or less accepted that my novel is too long and weird to sell and I'm about ready to kms.

I'm assuming a lot of people here also studied English in college (regardless of whether you majored in it). In honor of this story about the turmoil in Pomona's English department https://archive.ph/kspHn, anyone else have some good stories from the academy?
