Blood Meridian, Or, the Evening Redness in the West
Cormac McCarthy`s BLOOD MERIDIAN is an epic nightmare of a novel. Set in the 1850s on the Tex-Mex border, it is about a 14-year-old runaway--known only as
the kid --who comes of age in a brutal culture. Joining up with a gang of Indian-killers, the kid learns to kill Apaches for bounty. Barely escaping with his life from a group bent on revenge, he takes up with a larger-than-life figure called Judge Holden, a truly vicious man who represents all that is evil in humanity. In the end, it`s the kid vs. the judge: only one will survive. The kid`s journey through a landscape fraught with violence and horror is a kind of satire of the traditional epic quest of the hero in literature, and an allegory of the transformation of the American west as it became increasingly despoiled by blood, greed, and its own fake heroic grandeur.

The Brave Cowboy
Abbey's nostalgic early (1956) novel is about a rebellious throwback to the cowboy heroes of another age. The anarchistic Jack Burns, who gets himself arrested so he can help his draft-dodging pal break out of jail, is a symbol of the simpler, unregulated life of personal freedom that the Old West represents for Abbey. The novel was made into a highly successful movie, LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, starring Kirk Douglas.
