Condition: Bueno. : Blood Meridian is an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. 'McCarthy's achievement is to establish a new mythology which is as potent and vivid as that of the movies, yet one which has absolutely the opposite effect.He is a great writer" - "Independent". "I have rarely encountered anything as powerful, as unsettling, or as memorable as "Blood Meridian".A nightmare odyssey" - "Evening Standard". "His masterpiece.The book reads like a conflation of the "Inferno", "The Iliad" and "Moby Dick". I can only declare that "Blood Meridian" is unlike anything I have read in recent years, and seems to me an extraordinary, breathtaking achievement" - John Banville.

First edition of Cormac McCarthy's fifth novel, widely considered his masterpiece and among the greatest novels of the 20th century. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Anne With Love Cormac." The recipient, Anne DeLisle was McCarthy's second wife. McCarthy published his debut novel, The Orchard Keeper, in 1965, earning the William Faulkner Award for Best First Novel and a Rockefeller Grant. With his grant money, he traveled aboard the Sylvania, where he met singer and dancer Annie DeLisle of The Healy Sisters duo. The two fell in love and married on May 14, 1966, in Annieâs hometown of Hamble, England. Using their combined incomes, the couple traveled through Paris and Geneva before settling on Ibiza, where they joined the islandâs vibrant artistic community. There, McCarthy completed Outer Dark while bonding with fellow novelist Leslie Garrett. In 1967, they returned to the U.S., settling first on a Tennessee farm and later in a restored barn in Louisville, funded by McCarthyâs Guggenheim Fellowship. During this period, McCarthy wrote Suttree and completed Child of God in 1973. Annie recalled these times fondly, despite their modest means, noting McCarthyâs reclusive nature and dedication to his craft. The couple separated in 1976, after which McCarthy moved to El Paso and continued his literary ascent. Blood Meridian (1985) cemented his reputation, and All the Pretty Horses (1991) brought widespread fame, making him one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. Annie stayed in Tennessee, opening Annieâs, a jazz club and gourmet restaurant in Knoxvilleâs Old City in 1983. The venue played a key role in revitalizing the area, offering live music reminiscent of New Orleans. Though Annie moved on in 1989, the restaurant remained a local fixture until 2004.

"McCarthy can only be compared with our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece" (Michael Herr).
