Jay McInerney or Nick Flynn or whoever you've been reading recently would like a word.

More of a Cormac McCarthy, Donald Ray Pollack , Hubert Shelby jr kinda guy

Good, solid writing, just laid on a bit thick. Wouldn't have guessed McCarthy from that sample. Time to read some Denis Johnson if you haven't, though I suspect you have. There's some hints of Resuscitation of a Hanged Man, etc. in there.

Damn straight. Hell of a book. Good on you.

I just try to write in my vernacular, this one was kind of a parody of itself: a pontification. My other stories are more serious, I’d be glad to share one or two if you’re open to reading them

Sure thing, I'd love to take a look. DM me, or link me if you posted them on another sub.
