This is such an amazing book. I found it a profoundly moving and horrifying experience to read. It's amazing to know how accurate it seems from this source to be in many ways.
For those of you who don't know, in a 1999 piece for Salon entitled "Overlooked: Five direly underappreciated U.S. novels > 1960" by David Foster Wallace, there is a memorable review of "Blood Meridian" which reads (in its entirety) "Don't even ask."[1] After his death, DFW's personal copy of "Blood Meridian", complete with all sorts of marginalia and scribbled annotations was sold at auction, and it showed that he had indeed studied it in great depth.
