Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. Theres bloody action, conflict, violence, gunplay, the untouched spaces of the land of the North American Southwest, and equally as important, the Mexican Northwest. Oh, lets not forget sheer anomaly that comes thru as just the facts, just the way that it is. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. Theres bloody action, conflict, violence, gunplay, the untouched spaces of the land of the North American Southwest, and just as critical, the Mexican Northwest.

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. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. Shades of todays Blackwater and personal mercenary groups in the Middle East and now more here in the U. S. . The historic threads, good and noxious, the mythology and fact. Set against a tripartite of a Mexican, Anglo, and Indigenous American back drop Maybe the most fantastic thing about this novel is that while nothing good actually ever occurs, Mcarthy trains you not to expect it.
