joeybiophd 's review for:
The Crossing
by Cormac McCarthy
After reading my third McCarthy novel in one year, I have no problem with connecting multiple lines with the word "and." When I read his novels, I feel a special privilege for living in New Mexico and being able to imagine the landscape through personal experiences, unlike many others who rely on movies to fuel their imagination of the Southwest. Having a knowledge of Spanish will also help the reader, I was able to ask my parents if there was a word I didn't know (or paragraph). Reading his novels gives me a sense of acknowledgement and appreciation to my culture and background, especially considering how many white people forget the original cowboys were the vaqueros.
I think this is my least favorite novel of his yet, but mostly because it is a rather long read when you consider his writing style. However the length is needed as the main character will make numerous crossings through the border. The last 40 pages will connect the entire novel and the ending may leave you heartbroken. It's a beautiful story worth the read.
