Long and rambling. Interesting in places, lots of expounding on death and the nature of man, not really sure I understood what the author was trying to do...

McCarthy construye una portentosa novela sobre el crecimiento, la pérdida y el camino. Billy, un adolescente que al iniciar la narración no tiene trece años, aprende sobre la condición humana en los tres viajes que hace desde Nuevo México, donde ha vivido desde que tiene memoria hasta México, primero para llevar una loba, después para buscar junto con su hermano menor unos caballos que eran de su padre y después para buscar a su hermano. Con una prosa delicada, pero no por ello afectada y que no teme a la crudeza, McCarthy lleva a sus lectores por Nuevo México, Arizona, por el nororiente de Sonora y el noroccidente de Chihuahua.

Included in Border Trilogy.

Bought this copy for young cousin Tommy Z. in Texas after visiting in 2007, but reread it first and decided it was not appropriate for the the young teen.
