Synopsis
This second volume of Cormac McCarthy's famed Border Trilogy is set in the 1940s and tells the story of 16-year-old Billy Parham and his obsessive quest to return to Mexico a pregnant she-wolf he has trapped. He leaves New Mexico, setting off on his own, and in the course of this perilous (and doomed) journey he becomes far older than his years. When Billy returns, he encounters a scene of violence and desolation: everything he left behind has been transformed. He strikes out again, this time with his younger brother, Boyd, into the unknown frontier. Boyd becomes a legendary folk hero, then disappears, and Billy's new quest is to find his lost brother. McCarthy has been compared to everyone from Hemingway to Faulkner. This fable-like tale of mythic quests and heroic despair takes on the issues of guilt and innocence, love and violence, and the power of fraternal bonds.

Industry Reviews
"'The Crossing' generates an immense and sorrowful power....[It is a] soul-shaking novel."
Wolfe

"With McCarthy's white-water prose and fierce, mythic rendering of providence and doom, the comparison to Faulkner is merited and due....[This is] a breathtaking story, told in spare and mesmerizing prose."
Wolfe

"McCarthy has achieved something only a few artists even attempt: He has created his won world...beautiful, nightmarish, isolated."
Wolfe

"Sparse and laconic, yet brilliantly evocative...a work that will stand a long, long time and which comes close to the ever-sought, never-reached accolade of 'the great American novel.'"
Wolfe

"A masterly display of some of the most pitch-perfect prose being written these days....[A] brilliantly imagined book."
Wolfe

"'The Crossing' is a miracle in prose, an American original."
Brandon
