The Border Trilogy

by Cormac McCarthy

Three novels set on the Texas-Mexico border in the mid-twentieth century, following two young cowboys - John Grady Cole and Billy Parham - coming of age in a landscape on the edge of irreversible change. The trilogy moves from the ranching country of west Texas deep into Mexico and back, charting loss, violence, and the death of the American frontier. Collectively regarded as one of the great American literary epics of the twentieth century.
