tnews333 's review for:
The Crossing
by Cormac McCarthy
My review/What I learned from this book:
I learned that the only thing that matters is the story. That all is dust. I learned that the transient life is a tenuous experience and very rarely pleasant.
And I learned that every woman in Mexico is likely to feed you or pray for you or both but that is all the comfort you get. While every man in Mexico is likely to rob you of your last possessions or tell you a story that ends with all being dust and illusion.
A difficult read, when read alone. I suspect this is the sort of book a book club was meant for. It is one I've tried to discuss with the only other person I know who has read it. He didn't answer a goddamn thing for me.
