69 - Cormac McCarthy's Suttree (Guest: Jesse Cash of ERRA)

Nick chats with Jesse Cash, guitarist and vocalist of the progressive metal band ERRA, about Cormac McCarthy on this latest episode of the Books of Some Substance podcast. The book at hand is Suttree, a tale of a troubled man who has left an affluent past to live in a dilapidated houseboat and hang out in the underbelly of society. The two discuss McCarthy's masterful use of both complex and simple sentences, the vague origin of Cornelius Suttree's deeply embedded pain, and also whether or not an artist needs misery in order to create.   ERRA's new self-titled record is available now via UNFD. And you can learn a thing or two about shredding by following Jesse Cash on Instagram.
