Description
There are few modern writers more widely recognized for their brilliance than Cormac McCarthy, and this is him at his best, eviscerating the traditional Western novel and shining bright lights on the atrocities committed in America’s westward expansion.
From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road: an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West.
Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
