Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books The wrath of God lies
sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men
have power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Set in the anarchic
world opened up by America's westward expansion, Blood Meridian by
Cormac McCarthy is an epic and potent account of the barbarous
violence that man visits upon man. Through the hostile landscape of
the Texas-Mexico border wanders the Kid, a fourteen year-old
Tennessean who is quickly swept up in the relentless tide of blood.
But the apparent chaos is not without its order: while Americans
hunt Indians - collecting scalps as their bloody trophies - they
too are stalked as prey. Since its first publication in 1985, Blood
Meridian has been read as both a brilliant subversion of the
Western novel and a blazing example of that form. Powerful,
mesmerizing and savagely beautiful, it is established as one of the
most important works in American fiction of the last century. Part
of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern
literature.
