the mere games of postmodernism

[David Morris]

Related to this "moral direction" bit, I just finished McCarthy's "No
Country for Old Men," and talk about moralizing - the "old man"
narrator in chapter asides speaks of nothing but these evil days vs
the good old days.  It's a quaint look into an old country sheriff's
remembrance of the good old days contrasted with the unstoppable *new*
evil of drug trafficking.  The good characters aren't perfect and have
their complexities, but as a thriller - which is what I'd call this-
it's a little 2-dimensional and predictable.
