In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed Border Trilogy . The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.
One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law–in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell–can contain.
As Moss tries to evade his pursuers–in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives–McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.
No Country for Old Men is a triumph.

評分作者有著簡潔冷漠的敘事手法. 文體相當自我. 故事情節佈滿冷峻暴力. 荒漠氛圍蒼涼蕭澀. 蘊釀著一種對現實人生無可奈何的頹敗感嘆... 但作者說故事的韻律. 卻又散發齣極強烈的文學氣息. 美學氣息... 這便是閱讀本書時. 令人難以分心. 默默將殺手掌握所有一切因而帶來的不安. 轉...
