Cormac McCarthy's No Country For Old Men
In bare sun-bleached prose, the ever-staggering McCarthy breaks down the play of choice and consequence in this bloody borderland tale. The decision to go back and give a dying man water all but seals our hero's fate. Antagonist Anton Chigurh, armed with a cattle gun and unsettling pre-kill questions, may be the most compelling -- and certainly relentless -- villian in recent fiction. Conducts a coin toss that'll tie your stomach in knots. Can’t wait to see what the Coen Brothers do with this one.
