NATIONAL BESTSELLER โขย The second volume of theย award-winning Border TrilogyโFrom theย bestselling author ofย The Passengerย and theย Pulitzer Prizeโwinning novel The Roadโfulfills the promise of All the Pretty Horses and at the same time give us a work that is darker and more visionary, a novel with the unstoppable momentum of a classic western and the elegaic power of a lost American myth.
In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch.ย ย But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico.ย ย With that crossing, he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat-lightningโa world where there is no order "save that which death has put there."
An essential novel by any measure, The Crossing is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.
Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
