ekovacs 's review for:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

---

The most gratuitously brutal novel in the history of literature, combined with the most wondrous prose - archaic and biblical at times - you won't find anywhere else but in the oeuvre of Cormac McCarthy. I don't think that anybody else in the current roster of novelists is able to describe violence more vividly than this author. Not the easiest read for sure, but if you've got the stomach and perseverance, you're in for a real treat by McCarthy's greatest novel.
