Blood Meridian

Author of the National Book Award winner All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy is one of the most provocative American stylists to emerge in the last century. The striking novel Blood Meridian offers an unflinching narrative of the brutality that accompanied the push west on the 1850s Texas frontier. His birth ended his mother's life in Tennessee. Scrawny and wiry, he runs away at the age of 14. As he makes his way westward, the impoverished and illiterate youth finds trouble at every turn. Then he's recruited by Army irregulars, lured by the promise of spoils and bound for Mexico. Churning a dusty path toward destiny, he witnesses unknown horrors and suffering-and yet, as if shielded by the almighty hand of God, he survives to breathe another day. Earning McCarthy comparisons to greats like Melville and Faulkner, Blood Meridian is a masterwork of rare genius. Gifted narrator Richard Poe wields the author's prose like a man born to speak it.

Våldsam, vidrig, spännande

Brutal beskrivning av 1800-talets mitt! Välskriven och underhållande, men inget för ömtåliga själar. Jag gillar uppläsaren skarpt, men sånt är ju helt och hållet subjektiv, så det får alla bedömma själva. Rekommenderas givetvis till alla som uppskattar en dos av verklighet!

Lite oklar ibland, men väldigt spännande. Har tyvärr inte fått tag på boken så har fått lyssna på den
