Dark Roads: The Essential Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy is one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Sparse in style, apocalyptic in vision, and ferocious in moral clarity, his novels strip human nature down to its core. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, McCarthy's essential works span the American West, the Texas-Mexico borderlands, and the end of the world itself — eight novels that belong on every serious reader's shelf.
