About This Book
In this magnificent new novel, the National Book Award-winning author of
All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing fashions a darkly beautiful elegy
for the American frontier.
The setting is New Mexico in 1952, where John Grady Cole and Billy
Parham are working as ranch hands. To the North lie the proving grounds
of Alamogordo; to the South, the twin cities of El Paso and Juarez,
Mexico. Their life is made up of trail drives and horse auctions and
stories told by campfire light. It is a life that is about to change
forever, and John Grady and Billy both know it.
The catalyst for that change appears in the form of a beautiful,
ill-starred Mexican prostitute. When John Grady falls in love, Billy
agrees--against his better judgment--to help him rescue the girl from
her suavely brutal pimp. The ensuing events resonate with the violence
and inevitability of classic tragedy. Hauntingly beautiful, filled with
sorrow, humor and awe, Cities of the Plain is a genuine American epic.
