Program Description
Description
This week we will be reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
Blood Meridian is an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.
The A.M. Book Group meets in person with an option to participate via Zoom on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am. This book group does not meet in December. New readers are always welcome. Tom Madden is the facilitator.

Many of the book discussion titles can be downloaded via the Library's Hoopla or Libby accounts. Please reach out to the Adult Services Department if you need assistance with downloading the title. Personal copies can also be purchased at Books on the Common at a 15% discount.
