Description
Cormac McCarthy's devastating, visionary masterpiece—following a teenage runaway's journey through the most extreme violence of the mid-nineteenth century American Southwest in the company of the Judge, one of the most terrifying characters in the history of American literature—is simultaneously the most uncompromising and the most formally magnificent novel produced by any American writer in the twentieth century. Written with McCarthy's incomparable prose style—biblical, dense, gorgeous, and completely merciless—this is essential reading for every serious reader of American literature willing to encounter violence and beauty at their absolute maximum intensity. A genuine and disturbing masterpiece.
