Cormac McCarthy Blood Meridian
<B>Cormac McCarthy <I>Blood Meridian Or The Evening Redness in the West</B></I>.</B></I> (New York: Random House, 1985), first edition, 337 pages, red cloth with gilt lettering on spine, 8vo (5.75" x 8.5"), dust jacket (in protective mylar). Having received little attention at the time of publication, <I>Blood Meridian</B></I> is now considered Cormac McCarthy's crowning achievement, which is high praise for the author of <I>Suttree</B></I> and <I>All the Pretty Horses.</B></I> Titan of literary criticism Harold Bloom praised the novel as one of the finest of the twentieth century, and perhaps the best novel by a living American writer. Known today as much for its unflinching violence as its magisterial prose, <I>Blood Meridian</B></I> has staked a firm claim in the roll call of great modern fiction and is a grand adventure into the dark heart of the American West. This copy is in very good condition with some very minor rubbing to the dust jacket. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</
