No Country for Old Men
Author
Cormac McCarthy
ISBN
9780375706677
In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed Border Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law-in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell-can contain.As Moss tries to evade his pursuers-in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives-McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines. No Country for Old Men is a triumph.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Cormac McCarthyPublisher: VintagePublished: 07/11/2006ISBN: 9780375706677Pages: 309Weight: 0.52lbsSize: 7.92h x 5.30w x 0.68dReview Citations: New York Times 07/30/2006 pg. 20Entertainment Weekly 04/03/2009 pg. 28Entertainment Weekly 10/10/2014 pg. 68
