Overview
This paperback collection brings together three of Cormac McCarthy's most celebrated novels: the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Road, the frontier epic Blood Meridian, and the modern classic No Country for Old Men. Spanning a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the violent American West, and a drug deal gone catastrophically wrong, this bundle is a perfect introduction — or addition — for readers who love dark, unflinching literary fiction.
About the Books
In The Road, a father and son walk together through a burned, ash-covered America, armed with only a pistol and a shopping cart of scavenged supplies, their bond the last flicker of hope in a dying world. Blood Meridian follows a fourteen-year-old runaway known only as "the kid" as he falls in with a scalp-hunting gang along the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, in a novel that dismantles the mythology of the Wild West with savage, biblical prose. No Country for Old Men opens when Llewelyn Moss stumbles across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert — bodies, heroin, and two million dollars in cash — and makes the fateful decision to take the money, setting off a relentless pursuit by the implacable killer Anton Chigurh, while an aging sheriff tries to make sense of a world turning stranger and crueller by the day. Together, these three novels showcase McCarthy's singular voice: spare, poetic, violent, and profoundly humane, cementing his reputation as one of the most important American novelists of the last century.
