All the Pretty Horses: All the Pretty Horses Analog audio cassette - 2000
by Cormac McCarthy; Read by Frank Muller
About this book
Cormac McCarthy is an American novelist and playwright. He has also written plays and screenplays. This novel, All The Pretty Horses, won the National Book Award in 1992. The story reads like a Western novel, but is set in 1949 and revolves around the life of a 16-year old Texan named John Grady Cole. After his parent’s marriage ends, he finds himself at the end of a long line of ranchers, without a family ranch to work. So he sets out for Mexico on horseback with two companions. By turns both comic and tragic, the elaborate character development and McCarthy’s superb descriptive style make this book a rare treat.
All the Pretty Horses is the first volume in the Border Trilogy. The other two volumes are The Crossing and Cities of the Plain.
