Original half burgundy leather with marbled boards, gilt lettering to spine. Alan Cheuse reviews No Country for Old Men, by Cormac McCarthy. This deluxe edition is highly sought for its beauty, a highlight for any McCarthy collection. Literary critic Harold Bloom placed Cormac McCarthy on his list of the four great living American writers in 2003.

A MacArthur Fellow, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, and National Book Award-winner, McCarthy's reputation has been extended further with the success of the Coen brothers' Hollywood adaptation of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, which won four Academy Awards including Best Picture. It’s a bleak chronicle of murder, revenge and implacable. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is a major work of the McCarthy canon, exploring fate and futility in the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong in rural west Texas. Almost as frustrating as it is commanding, McCarthy’s ninth (and first since the completion of his Border Trilogy: Cities of the Plain, 1998, etc.) is a formidable display of stunningly written scenes that don’t quite cohere into a fully satisfying narrative.

Known for his 'brutal and spare' narratives, Cormac McCarthy has been called 'one of the greatest living novelists' (Cowley, THE GUARDIAN). Deluxe signed limited edition of this neo-Western thriller, one of McCarthy's best-known works and the basis for an Oscar-winning film.
