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.
《血色子午线》是我读过的第二部麦卡锡的作品,之前读完《长路》后带来的震撼还没有消退,全身的感官和细胞又再次被麦卡锡的这部作品所强烈刺激。不得不承认,《血色子午线》确实是一部很难懂的作品,因为麦卡锡将太多太多的元素融入其中,使得残暴的战争与历史,跟晦涩的哲学...
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...
评分被布鲁姆在《如何读,为什么读》里的介绍吸引,在书店里看到书-虽有封膜未拆开看不到内容,但我隔着封膜摩挲了几遍那绿色背景橙红题目极具质感与冲击力的封皮之后,毅然地买了这本书,即便布鲁姆说他看这本书时曾几度放弃。 因为有了布鲁姆的警告,我对前十几页的阅读抱着一种...
非常艰难的堵了二三十页?这个词汇和表达对我来说太难啦
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Cormac McCarthy写景就像the Judge发表演说,传递了一整片世界观,不断叩问生死、存在、秩序、意义,太阳月亮星星游走在世界边缘,水仿佛流进世界深处,乌黑的洞口像是底部另一个世界的凝视。前言说得没错,McCarthy专注于外部,从不向内探索,从头到尾写到人只有平铺直叙的白描,反而显得斗转星移风吹日晒有了情绪。半本书都是流血、死亡、枯骨,读起来很难不产生疲惫和虚无感,但又异常精彩,总体是pleasantly exhausted.

评分建议和同一作者的“No Country for Old Men”一起看。
