Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

Chihuahua pups. Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. Made public in 1986, Blood Meridian is inherently unending. Blood Meridian is also a cautionary story on the dangers of privatization of military and law enforcement. A western novel at its core, it satisfies, and then some, all the prerequisites of the genus. Theres bloody action, conflict, violence, gunplay, the untouched spaces of the land of the American Southwest, and of equal importance, the Mexican Northwest. Oh, lets not forget sheer anomaly that comes thru as just the facts, just the way it is. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most upsetting undercurrent. Broadcast in 1986, Blood Meridian is intrinsically unending. Blood Meridian is also a cautionary story on the dangers of privatization of army and law enforcement. Set against a tripartite of a Mexican, Anglo, and indigenous American back drop.
