Set along the familiar bloody frontier of the Border Trilogy, No Country for Old Men portrays a time when drug agents and hit men rule the land. Vivid, thrilling and visceral.
Cormac McCarthy is one of the most enigmatic and reclusive
superstars of the modern literary world. Living and writing from El
Paso, Texas, he has shunned all requests for interviews,
appearances at bookshops or literary festivals.
Nonetheless, he remains one of the most admired writers of the last
fifty years. His eight novels have received extraordinary reviews,
being hailed as masterpieces of American literature. He has won the
American National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle
Award for All the Pretty Horses, the first book of The Border
Trilogy.
Cormac McCarthy is the author of twelve novels and a play. All his
novels are available in Picador editions. He died in June 2023.
No Country for Old Men is a compelling, harrowing, disturbing, sad,
endlessly surprising and resonant novel.
