Cormac McCarthy is a modern American classic of the main caliber, winner of the MacArthur Fellowship "For Genius", a master of complex experiences and non-standard syntax, well known to our readers novels "Old Men Don't Belong Here" (the Coen brothers' film based on this book won four "Oscars"), "The Road" (won the Pulitzer Prize and was also screened) and "Blood Meridian" ("a kind of mixture of Dantov's "Hell", "Iliad" and "Moby Dick", in the words of Booker Prize winner John Banville). The novels "Horses, Horses..." (awarded the U.S. National Book Award and transferred to the screen by Billy Bob Thornton, starring Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz), "Beyond the Line" and "Sodom and Gomorrah" make up the "Frontier Trilogy". It is a magnificent combination of heroic saga and melodrama, imbued with the directness of a classic western and the elegance of a half-forgotten myth. Here the young heroes - either wanting, like all teenagers, to become real men, or being consumed by the American passion to change places, or obeying the call of the Holy Grail - one day get on horses and, having crossed the river separating Texas from Mexico, get into the mythological space. It is as if they turn into heroes of an ancient violent epic, where people meet ghosts and violence is as swift as lightning... "Cormac McCarthy's world is an old world, more spacious than the one we are used to; it is a world that does not tolerate haste, a world of moral absolutes, a world openly opposed to modernity" (New Republic).
