In The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy fulfills the promise of Allthe Pretty Horses and at the same time give us a work that isdarker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum ofa classic western and the elegaic power of a lost Americanmyth.
In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures ashe-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead ofkilling it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico.With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlikejourney into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikesas suddenly as heat-lightning--a world where there is no order"save that which death has put there."
An essential novel by any measure, The Crossing is luminous andappalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart andmind at once. Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent mostof his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S.Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy'sfiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West--thefirst four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in theSouthwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the FaulknerAward for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968),Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), and Allthe Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics CircleAward and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992. The Crossingis his seventh novel and the second in McCarthy's BorderTrilogy.
