APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Nearly 30 years into a respectable, small-scale career as a novelist, Cormac McCarthy became an overnight sensation with the bestselling, National Book Award–winning All the Pretty Horses. The first volume of his Border Trilogy is a lively throwback to old-fashioned Westerns, full of intrigue and enriched with stoic Hemingwayesque meditations on masculinity. When a pair of west Texas teens run away to become cowboys in 1940s Mexico, they encounter crime, political corruption, and a star-crossed borderland love affair. Told in McCarthy’s trademark lean, minimally punctuated style, the novel transcends the Western genre—and achieves a stark, timeless beauty.
