First page of an early draft of Blood Meridian circa 1975. Courtesy The Cormac McCarthy Papers, Wittliff Collections, Texas State University.
“Whatever answers he might have in mind, McCarthy refuses to bend his rules to the reader’s demands. He’s committed to making us swallow Blood Meridian—and the savage realities of life—bones and gristle and all.” (via Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian: Early drafts and history. - Slate Magazine)
Absolutely fascinating assessment of early drafts of Blood Meridian.
