An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, Blood Meridianbrilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the "wild west." Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.
Cormac McCarthy, born Charles McCarthy (born July 20, 1933 in Providence, Rhode Island), is an American novelist who has written ten novels in the Southern Gothic, western, and post-apocalyptic genres.
Literary critic Harold Bloom named him as one of the four major American novelists of his time, along with Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and Philip Roth. He is frequently compared by modern reviewers to William Faulkner and sometimes to Herman Melville.
说起《血色子午线》的出版,实在一波三折。拿到版权,是2010年初的事,签好翻译合同,是在年中。然后译者出国、生子,拖稿拖稿再拖稿。然后彻底失去联系。直到2012年初,我迫不得已动用微博的强大力量,才把译者从茫茫人海中挖了出来,同时还招致诸多海外同胞的痛斥,说我暴露...
评分 评分現代英美文學殿堂級作品中,把《血色子午線》的兇殘暴力減半後,它還是最為兇殘暴力的一本兒。再把道德評判翻倍,依然是它最讓人感覺不到道德感。 看《血色子午線》幾十頁之後再看一集《冰風暴》或《漢尼拔》,會感覺跟看《唐頓莊園》差不多。 故事發生在十九世紀四五十年代的...

评分麦卡锡的笔是疯子吧,从没读过那么美的荒漠,苍山,厉石,墨夜。一路头皮赏金猎人的杀戮,是文学的一镜到底,比《发条橙》厉害很多的暴力美学。 “因为你们的理念可怖而你们的心灵脆弱。你们的怜悯、你们的残忍荒诞,焦躁不安永无止息,仿佛不可抗拒。最终,你们害怕鲜血,越来...
特别好
评分一场旷日持久的阅读。McCarthy怎么可以用寥寥数笔就把这乱世中人性、理性、神性的毁灭描写得淋漓尽致,其实就算他抛弃文字的形式感也对整体的震撼性毫无影响。
评分建议和同一作者的“No Country for Old Men”一起看。
评分“读到吐血”,从任何层面上。
评分第一次看西部小说啊,血腥的不行。吸血鬼那边想到了大话西游的场景,电影有趣死了。rango动画的酒吧和这小说相比,实在是小巫见大巫。动不动就是血洗村庄啊,尸横遍野,还好很多都没读懂。
