520    Following All the Pretty Little Horses in Cormac 
       McCarthy's Border Trilogy is a novel whose force of 
       language is matched only by its breadth of experience and 
       depth of thought. In the bootheel of New Mexico hard on 
       the frontier, Billy and Boyd Parham are just boys in the 
       years before the Second World War, but on the cusp of 
       unimaginable events. First comes a trespassing Indian and 
       the dream of wolves running wild amongst the cattle lately
       brought onto the plain by settlers - this when all the 
       wisdom of trappers has disappeared along with the trappers
       themselves. And so Billy sets forth at the age of sixteen 
       on an unwitting journey into the souls of boys and animals
       and men. Having trapped a she-wolf he would restore to the
       mountains of Mexico, he is long gone and returns to find 
       everything he left behind transformed utterly in his 
       absence. Except his kid brother, Boyd, with whom he 
       strikes out yet again to reclaim what is theirs - thus 
       crossing into "that antique gaze from whence there could 
       be no way back forever". What they find instead, singly 
       and together, is in extraordinary panoply of fiestas and 
       circuses, dogs and horses and hawks, pilgrims and 
       revolutionaries, grand haciendas and forlorn cantinas, 
       bandits and gypsies and roving tribes, a young girl alone 
       on the road, a mystery in the mountain wilds, and a myth 
       in the making. And in this wider world they fight a war as
       rageful as the one neither, in the end, will join up for 
       back home. One brother finds his destiny, while the other 
       arrives only at his fate. An essential novel by any 
       measure, and the transfixing middle passage of Cormac 
       McCarthy's ongoing trilogy, The Crossing is luminous and 
       appalling, a book that touches, stops,and starts the heart
       and mind at once.
