Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

A western novel at its core, it satisfies, and then some, all of the prerequisites of the genus. A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, story, 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 enigma 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. Printed in 1986, Blood Meridian is intrinsically unending. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. He had an exceedingly colourful background like so many other Texan front-runners. Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, story, and musings philosophic, intertwined with sheer horror, populated by horrendous characters that are still totally plausible in all of their overboard noxious. Oh, lets not forget sheer ambiguity that comes thru as just the facts, just the way that it is. He had a particularly colourful background like so many other Texan forerunners. Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the risks of privatization of army and law enforcement. The outsourcing of the struggle in Chihuahua against the Apaches climaxed in catastrophe. Shades of todays Blackwater and personal mercenary groups in the Middle East and now more here in the U. S. .
