Influences I ve added Ernest Hemingway as an influence in the info box This can be sourced to the introductory essay to the Modern Library edition of Blood Meridian The essay written by Harold Bloom says that McCarthy disproved the until then widely held belief that a writer could be influenced either by Faulkner or by Hemingway but not by both Also in regards to the inclusion of Dostoevsky as an influence I don t disagree but I m wondering if there is a source as I ve never read anything to that effect before
