First published by Random House in 1985, Blood Meridian is the book that firmly established Cormac McCarthy as an American master -- one who is, according to Michael Herr, among "our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner". Based loosely on historical accounts of murder along the border between Texas and Mexico in the 1850s, the novel features a classic McCarthy reluctant hero: the Kid, a fourteen-year-old boy from Tennessee who sees more about the true nature of the West than he ever hopes to witness. A cult classic when published originally, Blood Meridian now stands squarely as part of American literature. 20110531. Glanton Gang Fiction. Indians of North America Fiction. Teenage boys Fiction.
