About this product

Product Information

The "masterpiece" (Michael Herr) of the New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road, No Country for Old Men, The Passenger, and Stella Maris "Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner. I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable."--Harold Bloom, from his Introduction "McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly--envied."--Ralph Ellison Widely considered one of the finest novels by a living writer, Blood Meridian is an epic tale of the violence and corruption that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the "Wild West." Its wounded hero, the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian represents a genius vision of the historical West, one whose stature has only grown in the years since its publication.

Reviews
"McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestlyenvied." 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, "The fulfilled renown of Moby-Dick and of As I Lay Dying is augmented by Blood Meridian, since Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner. I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable." --Harold Bloom, from his Introduction "McCarthy can only be compared with our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece." --Michael Herr "McCarthy employs a neo-Biblical rhetoric, a soaring, pulsing . . . always stirring diction without parallel in American writing today." --Alan Cheuse, USA Today "[ Blood Meridian ] reads like a connotation of The Inferno, The Iliad, and Moby-Dick . . . . An extraordinary, breathtaking achievement." --John Banville, The Independent (London) "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, "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.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    THE CORMAC McCARTHY YOU HAVE TO READ

    One of the greatest novels in American literatuire. Let it stand on the same short shelf with Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and those half a dozen others which, in your esteem, tower above others in exemplifying the very best in American letters. Superbly crafted prose masterfully leads you through terrifying material and mental landscapes. McCarthy's West is at once horrifying and alluring. This is not the merely excellent, Oprah-approved, safe-for-high-school Cormac McCarthy of The Road. This is the author at a stunning peak of skill.

    bought the hardcover for my library (and to read of course) ....book was packed in bubble mailer, mightve been ok if it hadnt spent 3 weeks in transit

    bought the hardcover for my library (and to read of course) ....book was packed in bubble mailer, mightve been ok if it hadnt spent 3 weeks in transit. opened package and the graphic cover over the binding is torn and beat up in multiple places. disappointing for a new book. wouldve paid more for a box.

  • Third time reading

    This is basically the greatest book written by an american author. Cant explain how amazing the writing is, his vocab/style/narrations/microstories. "They set forth in a crimson dawn where sky and earth closed in a razorous plane. Out there dark archipelagos of cloud and the vast world of sand and scrub shearing upward into the shoreless void where those blue islands trembled and the earth grew uncertain, gravely canted and veering out through tinctures of rose and the dark beyond the dawn to the uttermost rebate of space." unreal/10

  • Great looking book can’t wait to read the book. Dealer easy to deal with.
