Book Reviews of Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West (Modern Library)
Book Review: A surrealist masterpiece that captures the essence of the US
Summary: 5 Stars
Unbelievable in all respects. This book offers a Greek tragedy rendering of the usually jingoistic and romantically blinkered historical telling of the American West. The punishing precision of the writing is worthy of marvel and the story line resonates with the perpetual folly of man's vanity in the face of Earth's bounty. Nothing less than a complete and profound annihilation of Manifest Destiny and the primal, violent stupidities it engrained into American life. Should be required reading for all grade school students. Too bad Ronald Reagan was too busy reading Louis L'Amour.
