The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy

In <b>The Crossing</b>, Cormac McCarthy fulfills the promise of <b>All the Pretty Horses</b> 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.<br><br>In the late 1930s, sixteen-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch.&#160;&#160;But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico.&#160;&#160;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-lightning--a world where there is no order &quot;save that which death has put there.&quot;<br><br>An essential novel by any measure, <b>The Crossing</b> is luminous and appalling, a book that touches, stops, and starts the heart and mind at once.
