"An American classic to stand with the finest literary achievements of the century."--San Francisco Chronicle "Grave and majestic.... McCarthy has created an imaginative oeuvre greater and deeper than any single book. Such writers wrestle with the gods themselves." --Washington Post Book World "Showcases Mr. McCarthy's gifts as an old-fashioned storyteller.... His most readable, emotionally engaging novel yet." --The New York Times "Soars as few novels have in recent years...a work of which any writer would be proud." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "If you love classic narrative, quest stories, adventure stories of high order transformed by one of the lapidary masters of contemporary American fiction, now is your hour of triumph." --Chicago Tribune "Captures a way of life so unspoken and deep that most people never knew it existed--.

Synopsis
In this magnificent new novel, the National Book Award-winning author of All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing fashions a darkly beautiful elegy for the American frontier. The setting is New Mexico in 1952, where John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are working as ranch hands. To the North lie the proving grounds of Alamogordo; to the South, the twin cities of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. Their life is made up of trail drives and horse auctions and stories told by campfire light. It is a life that is about to change forever, and John Grady and Billy both know it. The catalyst for that change appears in the form of a beautiful, ill-starred Mexican prostitute. When John Grady falls in love, Billy agrees--against his better judgment--to help him rescue the girl from her suavely brutal pimp. The ensuing events resonate with the violence and inevitability of classic tragedy. Hauntingly beautiful, filled with sorrow, humor and awe, Cities of the Plain is a genuine American epic., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The third volume of the award-winning Border Trilogy, from the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road * A darkly beautiful elegy for the American frontier The setting is New Mexico in 1952, where John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are working as ranch hands.
