I wrote McCarthy a letter in which i told him that my great-grandfather was
killed in a gunfight right on the Mexican border in 1911. He wrote back a
said he feared that the history of the West would never be written.

I read perhaps two thirds of Blood Meridian a few years ago. My memory
is a little hazy about it now, but I just remember it feeling a little
"disjointed", and quite bloody and violent (unnecessarily so, IMO). I
might give it another go someday. Meanwhile, perhaps I'll try reading
The Crossing on
Blood Meridian is his masterpiece but I enjoyed reading The Crossing more.

Cormac McCarthy died yesterday in Santa Fe where he lived for the last 30
years. Douglas Preston lives in Santa Fe too. There must be something in Santa
Fe which attracts good writers :-) What's your favorite McCarthy novel?
