King of Dogs: Life is the training ground for death

In something of a synchronicity, earlier today I posted here a reference to “Cormac McCarthy’s last novel” with the word “last” carefully chosen to be ambiguous since he was quite elderly but I thought hopefully might write another. I also posted, today, something about King of Dogs at the Cormack McCarthy reddit sub and all of the “resonances”. Then while doing yard work, I listened to some of King of Dogs again and ran across to something that struck me as more than mere “resonance”. So I returned to add that to my post at the Cormac McCarthy reddit only to discover everyone was in an uproar because his death had just been announced.
