About this product

Product Information

25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION - F rom the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road: a n 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 novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris .

A harrowing Western with brains and wit
McCarthy is brilliant and it shows. This novel is vivid and brutal.I would also venture to say this book is not for everyone. McCarthy's style is a bit difficult; he often omits commas, uses long (long) sentences and fragments, does not always capitalize proper nouns, which can cause confusion on a sentence-by-sentence basis (this does not affect my understanding of the events taking place in the chapter/novel). Some sections, usually descriptions of gore or scenery, just read easily and beautifully, but then you are hit with an outlandish word that you'll later find is old cowboy jargon, the scientific name of that plant, animal or geography, or a Spanish word (none of the Spanish is translated). All this aside, it is still completely comprehensible and can be deeply philosophical, if you are looking for a good book to study and explicate. Read full review

Cruelty Narrated with Appalling Casualness
So disappointed as this is touted as Cormac McCarthy's best book. I've read and viewed "The Road" - Liked; viewed "No Country..." and had looked forward to reading the book. I enjoy Elmore Leonard's Westerns, but "Blood Meridian" is too rough for me. I'm half-way through and still can't get into it. Not enjoyable, and the outright cruelty depicted is truly appalling.

a nice gift
Difficult reading. I've made half a dozen attempts at this book. The only writer that can get me to do this. For me it's either I get it or I don't. Cormac is the man. Child is father of the son... Once I get into that reading zone again, where focus is held like slow fire in my lungs. One reviewer called his language archaic, I have to go with arcane. Archaic as well, but in the way of king james bible, shakespeare...

Diabolical
The story revolves loosely around a runaway kid who falls in with a low-life militia bent on killing. The story highlights some of the worst and most graphic incidents in the decimation of Apache and plains Indians. It is violent and bloody; it tells the story of a depraved gang of bounty hunters who murder and scalp their way from Mexico to California. If you don't want to be disgusted, don't read this book. On the other hand, the writing is at once erudite and arcane and has a certain appeal to English language dilettantes who favor an esoteric form of vocabulary and expression. You will meet a couple of well developed and extremely diabolical characters, "Glanton" and "Judge Holden." The judge is a complex man of parts and one of the few surviving gang members.

Cormac McCarthy is Genuis
I bought this book to read something else by Cormac McCarthy. I had read "The Road".....I always try to read the Pulitizer winner every year just out of curiosity. When I picked up "The Road"....I could not put it down.....McCarthy's writing was like a great symphony placed so tactfully on the written page....a beautiful book. I was curious about McCarthy's other works and ordered Blood Meridian....I was not disappointed. McCarthy's dark subject matter combined with his unbelievable ability to command the English language...the reader cannot help but "live" the book. Would definitely recommend. I am going on to read McCarthy's other works.
