Presents, in a handsome collectible format, Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian, Or The Evening Redness In The West". A fearlessly original - and uncompromisingly nihilistic - vision of America. A blood-soaked novel that recounts the foundation of America in greed and genocidal violence. It is unbearable, yet demands to be read, because it is an aesthetic triumph, written in prose that is an ambitious synthesis of Herman Melville and William Faulkner, largely comma-free, polysyndetic language gone wild, like its subject. It is not at all surprising that "Blood Meridian" was a commercial failure. It is a recent, "Exhibit A" case of how a great novel can be completely ignored upon publication, be remaindered, languish in used bookstores, and then be re-discovered as the masterpiece it always was. That this all happened in the author's lifetime (rather than posthumously, as in Melville's case) is, of course, sweet vindication. "The fulfilled renown of 'Moby-Dick' and of 'As I Lay Dying' is augmented by 'Blood Meridian'. Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner" (Harold Bloom). An absolute "must-have" title for Cormac McCarthy collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Folio Society Slipcased Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" is regarded by Harold Bloom as the greatest American novel of the last quarter of the 20th century. "Blood Meridian" and "The Border Trilogy" were selected by The New York Times panel of writers, critics, and editors as among the Top 20 greatest works of American fiction of the last 25 years. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 2007 for "The Road". One of the greatest novelists of our time. A fine collectible copy. no.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: NEAR FINE. Dust Jacket Condition: NEAR FINE. First Edition. SIGNED and inscribed by Cormac McCarthy on the title page to Gyula Visnyei, aka Juli Veee, the Hungarian-American soccer player. Cormac faltered in the spelling of 'Gyula', one of the main reasons Juli tended to ask authors to stick with 'Juli V' in inscriptions. 337pp. Red paper over boards backed in red cloth, red and gilt stamped spine lettering. One miniscule spot to top edge, else FINE; very small nick to tail of DJ spine, exceedingly crisp and bright otherwise. McCarthy's fifth novel, first western, and first and only written in the full freedom of his mature style. Upon publication a few critics saluted its genius but 1985 America didn't have much appetite for such a blatantly grotesque apocalypse of the American drive West; Ahearn states only 1,500 copies sold (others have claimed 1,883) of 5,000 printed in the first edition, the rest marred with the dread felt remainder pen. Its commercial flop was a failure of the reading public not seen since Moby Dick, whose style and content Blood Meridian is often compared to. Following the success of the Border Trilogy, readers returned to Blood Meridian finding in it the purest distillate of McCarthy's powers, a perfectly harnessed thunderstrike which he had the wisdom to never attempt again. 'And another thing,' to quote Mark Hime, 'Blood Meridian has all the charm of cutting into a loaf of bread and finding a dead mouse, so don't take a shower before reading this book, because you are going to need a long one afterwards.'.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Cormac McCarty signed book set of his first 6 novels. The story behind them is pretty cool too. Cormac had wandered into a bookstore in Tucson Arizona called Coyote s Voice Books. In her letter of provenance for all 6 volumes, the owner described him as a southern gentleman, and who purchased several books on psychological conditions (was he researching The Passenger/Stella Marris?) She was aware that he did not do book signings but nevertheless asked him if he would sign all of the books that they had in stock at the time. She said that he obliged her and signed all of the books he was presented with! Not only do I love these because it s the first 6 books all signed (the toughest of the McCarthy novels to acquire signed) but the story gives you an alternate narrative to the one that is told most often about McCarthy; He hates to sign books. She describes his transportation on that day as an old light blue pickup truck and he was dressed like a Texan, wearing a leather bomber jacket and he was polite and rather shy.
