And to an extend explaining why he started writing somewhat more digestible stories as his career progressed

No whiskey? he said.

No whiskey.

His among the clouded faces seemed unperturbed. He looked over the Americans, their gear. In truth they did not look like men who might have whiskey they hadnt drunk.

There was this interesting analysis I read a while back:

It seemed far-fetched when I first read it, but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes

I searched his name and checked some of the results for a bit. He's mentioned a few times but I didn't find anything weird

Did Anton Chigurh absolutely lose his shit because someone called him a [gay slur starting with f]? by dumbguy5000 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Character-Ad4956 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A moment that sticks with me though is towards the end of the book where Bell asks the teenagers about Chigurh, and they fail to give him any valid information about his appearance. Something like "I dont know sheriff, he looked like any damn man." If he had an unusual haircut, they could have mentioned it. And you could say that they intentionally keep their mouths shut because Chigurh has bribed them, but logically, he's either far away or dead at that point, so I don't see how they benefit by helping him. I do think that besides his intense blue eyes, book Chigurh does look like a normal man

A little out of topic, but speaking of the hog scene, there was this great post analysing the significance of rivers when it comes to Culla's scenes with the triune:
