NP - Blood Meridian

[ish mailian]

Give me a big budget and I'll have a go at it.
But seriously, it seems a book that could be made into a film. Will be
someday. Sure it will be a film. Maybe a great one, like the way
Cuckoo's Nest is a great film, but not made like the book. Anyway, I
liked the essay and I wonder how BM fits into Mark's link the other
day about Calvinism and the Western American novel.
