No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy

However, during the 1990s, he became a “popular” author with his “Border Trilogy” - “All the Pretty Horses” (1992), “The Crossing” (1994), and “Cities of Plain” (1998) - which was made famous by the 2000 film version of “All the Pretty Horses,” starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. There is still Bloom’s favorite, “Blood Meridian,” a story of the struggle among Americans, Mexicans, and native peoples for control of the Southwest. Bloom, although clearly choosing personal favorites, was noted for his lack of political correctness or bias in his judgments, being one of the last great American readers of literature for literature’s sake.Ī lot of time has passed since the Clinton-era “Western Canon,” and McCarthy has become known as a much more versatile writer than simply the author of “Blood Meridian.” Today, McCarthy is essentially known for four major works. Other first edition points for books by Cormac McCarthy include: All the Pretty Horses, The Road, Blood Meridian, Outer Dark, Child of God, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, Suttree, The Gardener's Son, The Stonemason, The Orchard Keeper.Throughout the rest of his career, in a variety of writings, including the posthumous “The American Canon: Literary Genius from Emerson to Pynchon” (2019), Bloom would heap praise on McCarthy as being one of the greatest living American writers.
