Blood Meridian is an amazing, terrifying, shocking, and eye-opening book. Ill never see another “Western” the same way again. It is among McCarthy’s most visceral.
I cannot recommend to anyone that they read this book. Much in the same way I love films like Requiem For a Dream, Dancer in the Dark, or Melancholia, I can’t inflict them on others. Blood Meridian is this perspective in book form.
If you’ve steeled yourself, by all means embark on Blood Meridian. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
If you’ve happened to read a fair amount of Cormac McCarthy would you suggest I read Stella Maris or Blood Meridian first? Cheers!!
Read The Passenger, then Stella Maris.
