科马克·麦卡锡,美国小说家和剧作家,代表作有《血色子午线》、《边境三部曲》、《老无所依》、《路》等。他和托马斯·品钦、唐·德里罗、菲利普·罗斯一起被誉为“当代最伟大的美国作家之一”,同时一直是诺贝尔文学奖的热门人选。
"The fulfilled renown of Moby-Dick and of As I Lay Dying is augmented by Blood Meridian, since Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner," writes esteemed literary scholar Harold Bloom in his Introduction to the Modern Library edition. "I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable."
Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians and sell those scalps. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf.
"A classic American novel of regeneration through violence," declares Michael Herr. "McCarthy can only be compared to our greatest writers."

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...
