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.

读后感

丰富的隐喻、借指和意象，催生大量解读与诠释文献，从诸学科的角度将小说的含义挖了个底朝天。诠释自然有助于理解每个意指的独立含义，让小说呈现出丰富的口味；但以一个外行人的角度来看，作者的笔法与其说是鼓励解析的，毋宁说是“反诠释”的，亦即，尽管作者精心设置了各种...  

麦卡锡的笔是疯子吧，从没读过那么美的荒漠，苍山，厉石，墨夜。一路头皮赏金猎人的杀戮，是文学的一镜到底，比《发条橙》厉害很多的暴力美学。 “因为你们的理念可怖而你们的心灵脆弱。你们的怜悯、你们的残忍荒诞，焦躁不安永无止息，仿佛不可抗拒。最终，你们害怕鲜血，越来...  

说起《血色子午线》的出版，实在一波三折。拿到版权，是2010年初的事，签好翻译合同，是在年中。然后译者出国、生子，拖稿拖稿再拖稿。然后彻底失去联系。直到2012年初，我迫不得已动用微博的强大力量，才把译者从茫茫人海中挖了出来，同时还招致诸多海外同胞的痛斥，说我暴露...  

科马克•麦卡锡的确是独开一脉——末世诗学。 在开读中译《血色子午线》之前，几次捺不住诱惑，想尝试读读看原文。那是惨不忍睹的熬人！读不下去，是我底气不足吧。据说Harold Bloom也是在读第四遍之后才进入到麦氏文本之中。 作者语体、叙述、节奏、人物均给我一种格格难...

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。

'Tis been years since the last time I'd identified with anyone in a book. The judge it is. Da müssen wir tanzen.

第一次看西部小说啊，血腥的不行。吸血鬼那边想到了大话西游的场景，电影有趣死了。rango动画的酒吧和这小说相比，实在是小巫见大巫。动不动就是血洗村庄啊，尸横遍野，还好很多都没读懂。
