Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice – leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Product description

Review

No Country for Old Men is a compelling, harrowing, disturbing, sad, endlessly surprising and resonant novel. -- Robert Edric * Spectator * It's hard to think of a contemporary writer more worth reading. * Independent * A fast, powerful read, steeped with a deep sorrow about the moral degradation of the legendary American West. * Financial Times * [An] utterly absorbing, chilling tale . . . One of the most sinister characters in modern American fiction. * Herald * A Western thriller with a racy plot and punchy dialogue, perfect for a lazy Sunday. * The Times * No Country for Old Men is a severed head and shoulders over anything else written in America this year. * Independent on Sunday *

Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island. He later went to Chicago, where he worked as an auto mechanic while writing his first novel, The Orchard Keeper. The Orchard Keeper was published by Random House in 1965; McCarthy's editor there was Albert Erskine, William Faulkner's long-time editor. Before publication, McCarthy received a travelling fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which he used to travel to Ireland. In 1966 he also received the Rockefeller Foundation Grant, with which he continued to tour Europe, settling on the island of Ibiza. Here, McCarthy completed revisions of his next novel, Outer Dark. In 1967, McCarthy returned to the United States, moving to Tennessee. Outer Dark was published in 1968, and McCarthy received the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Writing in 1969. His next novel, Child of God, was published in 1973. From 1974 to 1975, McCarthy worked on the screenplay for a PBS film called The Gardener's Son, which premiered in 1977. A revised version of the screenplay was later published by Ecco Press. In the late 1970s, McCarthy moved to Texas, and in 1979 published his fourth novel, Suttree, a book that had occupied his writing life on and off for twenty years. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981, and published his fifth novel, Blood Meridian, in 1985. All the Pretty Horses, the first volume of The Border Trilogy, was published in 1992. It won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and was later turned into a feature film. The Stonemason, a play that McCarthy had written in the mid-1970s and subsequently revised, was published by Ecco Press in 1994. Soon thereafter, the second volume of The Border Trilogy, The Crossing, was published with the third volume, Cities of the Plain, following in 1998. McCarthy's next novel, No Country for Old Men, was published in 2005. This was followed in 2006 by a novel in dramatic form, The Sunset Limited, originally performed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago. McCarthy's most recent novel, The Road, was published in 2006 and won the Pulitzer Prize.

McCarthy’s style smacks you in the face initially. Lack of punctuation defies reason. Then as you are sucked in to the narrative, you realise all that mess just gets in the way. Chilling and addictive. This book haunts.

Bell, a sherriff, an old school law man, is coming to the end of his time. As he departs he observes the injustice and lawlessness of the new drug criminals. It's a gritty, depressing read but it's not like we read McCarthy to get good feels.

I read this after Blood Meridian so it’s perhaps not fair to comment. It’s a good book but Blood Meridian it ain’t. It’s lighter, perhaps written with an eye on Hollywood.

4.0 out of 5 stars they are that good. Loved it
Reviewed in Australia on 4 March 2015
Verified Purchase
An extraordinary book, written exclusively in true Texan tongue, embellishing characters and landscapes in a vivid and compelling story that's as brutal and cold-blooded as anything written before. The language is pivotal in this cat and mouse tale and a real sense of worth is exhumed by Sherriff Bell as he recounts his life as a county Sherriff in a rough and rugged setting that's as unforgiving as the murderous villain. Totally unputdownable and at times downright creepy, sending your conscience into a spin. Some pages need to be read twice..........they are that good. Loved it.......wanted more.

Great story. Cormac McCarthy is one of the best writers ever. The characters in this book are so good, and the writing sticks with you, to the point where you are trying to never forget some of the lines. Fantastic read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Der wilde Westen, die Gewalt und die Meditation darüber
Reviewed in Germany on 23 June 2023
Verified Purchase
Ein Drogendeal, der in einem Blutbad endet. Eine Tasche mit zweieinhalb Millionen Dollar, die unerwartet den Besitzer wechselt und damit eine Orgie der Gewalt auslöst. Mitten drin: der alternde Sheriff Bell, der das Ganze reflektiert. Oder ist die Handlung selber nur ein verstecktes Symbol für tiefere philosophische Überlegungen?
Cormac McCarthy dringt in diesem Roman in ein Gebiet vor, das bisher nur Größen wie William Faulkner und John Steinbeck vorenthalten war. Nichts ist, wie es scheint. Das offene Ende wirkt auf den ersten Blick enttäuschend (wir erfahren nicht, wie es mit Anton Chigurh weitergeht) weist aber darauf hin, dass dieser Aspekt möglicherweise nicht der wichtigste im Roman ist. Hier ist der Leser gefordert. Fünf Punkte für ein ungewöhnliches Buch-auf den Film bin ich gespannt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the movie even
Reviewed in the Netherlands on 20 June 2023

'No Country For Old Men' is a gripping tale of fate, morality, and the relentless march of time. The narrative is taut and suspenseful, with McCarthy's characteristic sparse prose heightening the tension. The characters are complex and well-drawn, each struggling with their own moral dilemmas. McCarthy's exploration of the themes of justice, fate, and the nature of evil makes this book a compelling read.

Honestly, I first heard about the movie based on this book. After hearing praises of the movie I did a little research and found out that there's a book upon which the movie is based. So I decided to read the book first and watch the movie after.

The only thing I disliked was the way it was packaged by the seller.
