Author of the National Book Award winner All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy
is one of the most provocative American stylists to emerge in the last century.
The striking novel Blood Meridian offers an unflinching narrative of the
brutality that accompanied the push west on the 1850s Texas frontier. His birth
ended his mother's life in Tennessee. Scrawny and wiry, he runs away at the age
of 14. As he makes his way westward, the impoverished and illiterate youth finds
trouble at every turn. Then he's recruited by Army irregulars, lured by the
promise of spoils and bound for Mexico. Churning a dusty path toward destiny, he
witnesses unknown horrors and suffering-and yet, as if shielded by the almighty
hand of God, he survives to breathe another day. Earning McCarthy comparisons to
greats like Melville and Faulkner, Blood Meridian is a masterwork of rare
genius. Gifted narrator Richard Poe wields the author's prose like a man born to
speak it.
