Author of the National Book Award-winning 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.
“The authentic American apocalyptic novel…I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable as Blood Meridian.” (Harold Bloom)
“McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly envied.” (Ralph Ellison)
“McCarthy is a born narrator, and his writing has, line by line, the stab of actuality. He is here to stay.” (Robert Penn Warren)
