A lovely, Near Fine or better set of McCarthy's Border Trilogy. All books appearing unread, with just trivial wear, in bright, clean dust jackets. Considered a trilogy, although written and published over a span of six years. Detailing the rough, cowboy lifestyle of protagonists living near the US-Mexico border. Winner of the "National Book Award" and the basis for multiple film adaptations, McCarthy at his best. "[McCarthy] is the great pessimist of American literature, using his dervish sentences to illuminate a world in which almost everything (including punctuation) has already come to dust" (The Guardian). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

The Crossing is the second novel in the Border Trilogy series by Cormac McCarthy. The story centers around a young man named Billy Parham who captures a wolf that has been preying on livestock and his journey across the border into Mexico. The novel explores themes of fate, suffering, and the pastoral versus the industrial world.
