In Cities of the Plain, two men marked by the boyhood adventures of
All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing now stand together, between
their vivid pasts and uncertain futures, to confront a country
changing beyond recognition. In the fall of 1952, John Grady Cole
and Billy Parham are cowboys on a New Mexico ranch encroached upon
from the north by the military. On the southern horizon are the
mountains of Mexico, where one of the men is drawn again and again,
in this story of friendships and passion, to a love as dangerous as
it is inevitable. 'In a lovely and terrible landscape of natural
beauty and impending loss we find John Grady; a young cowboy of the
old school, trusted by men and horses, and a fragile young woman,
whose salvation becomes his obsession . . . McCarthy makes the
sweeping plains a miracle' Scotsman 'This haunting, deeply felt
novel completes one of the literary masterworks of the 1990s' Daily
Telegraph 'The completed trilogy emerges as a landmark in American
literature' Guardian This edition is part of the Picador
Collection, a series of the best in contemporary literature,
inaugurated in Picador's 50th Anniversary year.
