Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Blood Meridian is an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. 'McCarthy's achievement is to establish a new mythology which is as potent and vivid as that of the movies, yet one which has absolutely the opposite effect.He is a great writer" - "Independent". "I have rarely encountered anything as powerful, as unsettling, or as memorable as "Blood Meridian".A nightmare odyssey" - "Evening Standard". "His masterpiece.The book reads like a conflation of the "Inferno", "The Iliad" and "Moby Dick". I can only declare that "Blood Meridian" is unlike anything I have read in recent years, and seems to me an extraordinary, breathtaking achievement" - John Banville. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Modern Library edition author's classic novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by Cormac McCarthy on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Marion Ettlinger. Introduction by Harold Bloom. Uncommon signed. "Blood Meridian seems to me the authentic American apocalyptic novel, more relevant even in 2000 than it was fifteen years ago. The fulfilled renown of Moby-Dick and of As I Lay Dying is augmented by Blood Meridian, since Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and of Faulkner. I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable as Blood Meridian" (Harold Bloom). McCarthy can only be compared with our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece" (Michael Herr). Time magazine included Blood Meridian in its "Time 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005". In 2006 The New York Times conducted a poll of writers and critics regarding the most important works in American fiction from the previous 25 years, and Blood Meridian was a runner-up.

First edition, first printing, of the author's masterpiece, a shockingly violent work widely proclaimed as one of the greatest American novels. This is an advance review copy, with the publisher's introductory blurb loosely inserted. "Blood Meridian comes at the reader like a slap in the face, an affront that asks us to endure a vision of the Old West full of charred human skulls, blood-soaked scalps, a tree hung with the bodies of dead infants. [It] makes it clear that all along Mr. McCarthy has asked us to witness evil not in order to understand it but to affirm its inexplicable reality; his elaborate language invents a world hinged between the real and surreal, jolting us out of complacency" (James). Caryn James, "'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy", New York Times, 28 Apr. 1985. Octavo. Original red cloth-backed red boards, spine lettered in gilt and ruled in metallic red. With dust jacket. Title page and facing page illustrated with map of New Mexico. Upper corner of front cover bumped; edges of jacket a touch rubbed, a few nicks to top edge, unclipped: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
