No Country for Old Men. But, you know, I mean, The Road, I remember being particularly moved by it. Just incredible writing.

A combination of, I mean, a singular voice, an enormous figure in American, modern American literature and a guy who who's all of his work like hangs together this dark, stark, almost apocalyptic kind of vision anchored to this really profound moral sense and like that.

That the morality in that kind of shines through and all these very dark visions in his pieces is what made him something more than just a great wordsmith, but a really important artist in American life.
