Adapted by the Coen Brothers into an Academy Award winning film, No Country For Old Men is a dark and suspenseful novel from Cormac McCarthy, author of The Road.
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice – leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Also, it doubled my respect for the Coen brothers’ film, how closely they stuck to McCarthy’s roadmap. I have to say, though, I thought the Chigurgh found here— more terrifyingly “normal,” less immediately unhinged— was on the whole much more effective and disturbing. Which, if you know what I’m talking about... says a lot.
