What more can possibly be said about Cormac McCarthy and Blood Meridian, arguably his masterpiece? It's worthy of every bit of praise heaped upon it and more. You know you've read something extraordinary when comparisons to Conrad, Faulkner, Melville, Poe and Dante all seem inadequate. McCarthy has four great gifts that make Blood Meridian, as well as his other Westerns, lyric and memorable: -- He knows how to start a book / introduce a protagonist. Until now, I had considered "The Old Man And The Sea" to have the greatest first 250 words ever penned. Blood Meridian took that crown with its immediate impression upon the reader of exactly who The Kid is, what this book was going to be like, and the Sargasso Sea of language that one swims throughout its 350 pages. -- He has absolutely mastered hubris and nemesis. You know, going in, things are not going to turn out well for any of McCarthy's main characters. It's in the twists and turns that takes one to the final answering that makes Cormac McCarthy such a joy to read. -- His command of English is humbling. His sentences are every English teacher's nightmare-cum-epiphany. How one can write run-on sentences with little semblance to generally accepted rules of syntax, grammar and punctuation, and manage to paint so vivid and complete a scene, simply defies description. It must be experienced, and in experiencing it, one is simultaneously stunned and satisfied. -- He knows how to end a book. Every plot thread is sewn up tight at the end of Blood Meridian; and yet, you simply don't want it to be over. I found myself dreaming the scenes of this book several nights in a row, shortly after having read each of its perfect-for-nightstand chapters. I cannot remember the last book that accomplished that task so readily or commonly. One thing is clear: I must read everything else he has written. McCarthy has won me over completely.
