Description: A Fine copy. Publisher's yellow paper wrappers.

Cities of the Plain was published on May 31, 1998 in a print run of 200,000 copies. It is the spellbinding third book in McCarthy’s Border Trilogy, which also encompassed the National Book Award-winning All The Pretty Horses as well as The Crossing. The story of Cities of the Plain follows the protagonists of the two previous novels, John Grady from the first and Billy from the second, as they work on a cattle ranch in 1950s New Mexico. "The writing is often gorgeous. Here, McCarthy's famously long sentences, drawn out by 'ands,' suit his boundless terrain. It's as if he were directing a reader's gaze across a sweeping horizon...In Cities of the Plain McCarthy sustains the momentum, and once again provides a terrific read" (contemporary New York Times review).
