Well, the lack of resolution makes me appreciate the book
even more. It highlights the provisional nature of our moral

our man-made disasterscape). The Sheriff is a man of his day.
I loved the book.
************* I thought the book had a straightforward
resolution. The bad guy won. Bell is an existential
nobody.
And although I thought it a lesser of McCarthy's, I still
thought it was way ahead of the standard fare. I had a little
problem with honesty in the book, which I've never had with
McCarthy before.
I am rereading BLOOD MERIDIAN. It has lost nothing since I
first read it a couple years ago. It's one of the greatest
books I've ever read. Have I mentioned that before?
