Blood Merridian.

Oh sweet Jesus and all the saints, what a book. Blood Merridianm not a Wine Dark Merridian or a Purple Merridian but a Blood Merridian.There is something of a bloody sunset to it all, a sense of an ending off sorts, but ike all sunsets it will come again, Provided someone is around to witness it, Not that I am suggesting that unrecorded events may not have existed may not have happened at all. They did, millions and millions of them and after we are gone millions more will take place. I wonder what Judge Holden would make of that? God willing we never find out. There is so much to say about this book, territories to explore, terrible and beautiful, with a powerful sense of a fall from grace. Need to think some more about it.
