|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 Faulkner,| writes esteemed literary scholar Harold Bloom in his Introduction to the Modern Library edition. |I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable.| Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians and sell those scalps. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf. |A classic American novel of regeneration through violence,| declares Michael Herr. |McCarthy can only be compared to our greatest writers.| From the Hardcover edition.
