About the Book

For almost three decades, Cormac McCarthy solidified his reputation as an American "writer's writer" with remarkable novelssuch as his "Appalachian Tales, The Orchard Keeper, Outer Dark, Child of God," "Suttree," and his terrifying Western masterpiece, "Blood Meridian." Then, with the publication of "All the Pretty Horses," the first work of his celebrated "Border Trilogy" in 1992, McCarthy's popularity exploded on to a world stage. As his reputation burgeoned with the publications of "The Crossing" and "Cities of the Plain," the critical response to McCarthy has grown apace.
