i was watching the interview with dennis francis and had no idea "the long one" john sheddan was literally just one of mccarthy's friends from his pre-grant days. didn't even change the name

the passenger/stella maris really did feel like he was drawing the curtains on himself. i'm glad they were published before he finally went
