Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

A western novel at its core, it meets, and then some, all of the needs of the category. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. He had an especially colourful background like so many other Texan pathfinders. Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the dangers of privatization of army and law enforcement. A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, account, and musings philosophic, intertwined with sheer horror, populated by dreadful characters that are still totally plausible in all of their ott malicious. Oh, lets not forget sheer paradox that comes thru as just the facts, just the way that it is. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most worrying undercurrent. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the dangers of privatization of army and law en forcement. The outsourcing of the conflict in Chihuahua against the Apaches finished in catastrophe.
