- Summary:
- First published by Random House in 1985, Blood Meridian is the book that firmly established Cormac McCarthy as an American master -- one who is, according to Michael Herr, among "our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner".
- Based loosely on historical accounts of murder along the border between Texas and Mexico in the 1850s, the novel features a classic McCarthy reluctant hero: the Kid, a fourteen-year-old boy from Tennessee who sees more about the true nature of the West than he ever hopes to witness. A cult classic when published originally, Blood Meridian now stands squarely as part of American literature.
