After a strong start with All the Pretty Horses, we continue with the Border Trilogy book club. The Crossing is my favorite work by McCarthy and is a beautiful blend of his mythopoetic style and the elevated style he uses in Suttree and Blood Meridian.

I would still encourage you to join if you can’t make the calls because you can

  • Watch the recorded calls, which will be posted below

  • Chat with me in Substack messages about the book and have any questions answered.

We meet on Zoom every other Thursday at 2:40 PM PST. The calls last for 30 minutes.

2/6 - Read Part 1

2/20 - Read Part 2

3/6 - Read Part 3

3/20 Finish Novel (will take place at 3:40 PST time because of the shift in time)
