Blood Meridian

Just a little note to say I'm 70 odd pages into Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985) and thoroughly enjoying it so far.

It's one of those novels that are championed by people like Harold Bloom so I thought I would check it out. Part of the impetus comes from the fact that this semester I'm doing a module called American Violence. I thought I would acquaint myself with what is supposed to be one of the best literary treatments of violence.

Coming at the topic of American Violence from a different angle is Richard Pryor.
