"An American classic to stand with the finest literary achievements of the century." --San Francisco Chronicle
Beginning with All the Pretty Horses and continuing through The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, McCarthy chronicles the lives of two young men coming of age in the Southwest and Mexico, poised on the edge of a world about to change forever. Hauntingly beautiful, filled with sorrow and humor, The Border Trilogy is a masterful elegy for the American frontier.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
Joe Bernstein is a journalist.
I think this is fine and fairly common? e.g. Cormac McCarthy had pages of untranslated Spanish in the Border trilogy and no one cared https://t.co/z9SkRPNTjo
Former FV 40 Twitterer. I provide bad takes on baseball, wrasslin, booze, and general life musings. Follow at your own risk, definitely R rated.
Cormac McCarthy reading list in terms of approachability: 1.) The Road 2.) No Country for Old Men 3.) The Border Trilogy (All the pretty horses) 4.) Suttree 5.) Child of God 6.) Blood Meridian
