An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, Blood Meridianbrilliantly subverts 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 the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

萨图努斯或黑暗中的血红史诗 这是一部史诗。作者科马克•麦卡锡大半生都颇为窘困，有人在他几乎没钱吃饭的时候许以重金，请他去大学演讲一番，谈谈自己的作品，他断然拒绝，声称所有他能讲出来的，都在书页上了。接下来的一周，他和妻子只能继续吃豆子。小小轶事反映的却是...

用户评价

建议和同一作者的“No Country for Old Men”一起看。

一场旷日持久的阅读。McCarthy怎么可以用寥寥数笔就把这乱世中人性、理性、神性的毁灭描写得淋漓尽致，其实就算他抛弃文字的形式感也对整体的震撼性毫无影响。

非常艰难的堵了二三十页？这个词汇和表达对我来说太难啦

特别好

英文有声书。硬着头皮听了大概一半，实在听不下去了。各种难懂。
