Someone hasn’t gathered them in an archive ? Or are they just being posted all over

Yes, they are in the Cormac McCarthy archive in Texas! You can scan 10% of any draft if you visit.

There is no link! These are being posted on the internet for the first time here to my knowledge. More coming soon.

But, I will work on transcribing his handwriting. Have most of that done.

“This is specious bullshit, Afred North.” lol

Was he doing some kind of rewriting exercise at the top there?

I’m also curious about that little drawing of a wheel at the bottom left. “137” What’s that about? My first thought is a note on structure, the way he mirrors images. Maybe he thought of it less like reflective halves as in butterfly wings, and more like a turning wheel with mirrored spokes passing through the center?

Cool page. I’d love see more. Thanks for sharing!!
