SUMMARYJoin us for an engaging online seminar focused on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. A violent tale of the American Southwest and the border with Mexico. Based on historic events, McCarthy’s novel is a profound meditation on good and evil, violence and humanity, damnation and redemption. His characters “The Kid” and “The Judge” have taken their place alongside similarly morally ambiguous heroes of American fiction such as Melville’s Captain Ahab and Faulkner’s Thomas Sutpen. Against the backdrop of bounty hunters and Indian wars, McCarthy’s tale unfolds in prose as gorgeous as the disturbing quality of the violence and conflict it describes.EDITIONBlood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, Vintage Paperback ISBN: 978-0-679-72875-7READING SCHEDULE
