This is the final book in the Border Trilogy, preceded by All The Pretty Horses (1992) and The Crossing (1994). In addition to this trilogy, Cormac McCarthy’s literary achievements include the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Road,” a haunting exploration of post-apocalyptic survival, and “Blood Meridian,” a violent and poetic masterpiece set in the 19th-century American West. McCarthy’s works often delve into the human condition, weaving themes of morality, existentialism, and the harsh realities of life with a unique and unparalleled narrative skill.
