Understanding Blood Meridian

Welcome to Book By Book, the user-guided literature series! Members guide book discussions by submitting works for review - one-hour videos are uploaded according to request load and popularity. All discussions are live and archived on the channel.

This live discussion centers on the enigmatic classic “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy, drawing from a watershed study by Dr. Michael Lynn Crews in which he identifies direct references to great works and authors in McCarthy’s private notes and correspondences, contained in the Wittliff Collection at Texas State University. Recently, a whole new generation of readers have expressed the need for deeper insight into McCarthy’s intentions within the novel. This discussion is designed to explore his influences through Dr Crews’s work in an effort to approach a serious evaluation of the book.
