The Crossing, together with its predecessor All the Pretty Horses, towers over most contemporary fictionAn American epic infused with a grand solemnity * Sunday Times *
McCarthy writes prose as clean as a bullet cutting through the air and constructs tales as compelling as any you will read . . . They are stories about people as real as the land they ride and as disturbing as the rituals they enact * Daily Telegraph *
Admirers of All the Pretty Horses will need little encouragement . . . McCarthy speaks to us in the thrilling, apocalyptic tones of an Old Testament prophet. We must treasure him * Sunday Telegraph *
The Crossing is like a river in full spate: beautiful and dangerous * The Times *
Nominally Westerns, these books are too entropic and philosophical to fit within the limits of the genre. They summon the ghosts of history, and haunt the gaps between justice and reality -- Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars Room
