Meridia S Garden Book One

25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION • From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road: an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

WAVING A SUNFLOWER AT FDR -- This childhood prank by the author is one of many lively recollections in this photo-studded account of a family history extending back to the American Revolution. Growing up during the Great Depression on Meridian Street, the book's title, he recounts an award-winning newspaper and Washington career during which he was eyewitness to important political and historic events of the past six decades, including the enactment of monumental civil rights legislation, the Vietnam War turmoil, the Watergate era and the Saturday night massacre, the Kent State killings, the chaotic Boston school desegregation, and the Wounded Knee conflict.
