I've read a bit more of McCarthy and I really don't like his style very much and the way he uses the word and all the time and uses no punctuation especially for dialogue she said and the way he doesn't use names and so his characters are he and she and it gets confusing about which he and she he means and I have to keep rereading to figure out what's going on and I think he's a bit too pretentious for me and I might give him a miss for now.

I have the same problem with Faulkner.

I'm sure I'm supposed to appreciate these 'important' authors but I just don't like it when they make reading hard work.

rather pretentious, I think!
