Cities of the Plain, the final volume of Cormac
McCarthy's Border Trilogy, binds together the separate tales of
John Grady Cole from All the Pretty Horses and Billy Parham from
The Crossing to create a more realistic Billy and a more mythic
John Grady. Within the confines of a relatively spare 293 pages,
the classic "all-american cowboy" John Grady devotes himself to
saving every hurt or wounded creature that crosses his path, a
noble and impossible task that leads ultimately to his own
destruction. The tragedy of his failed rescue of the epilectic
prostitute Magdalena makes a martyr of the near-faultless John
Grady, yet McCarthy stubbornly refuses to let the novel backslide
into blubbery melodrama. Told in both McCarthy's signature lyrical
style and his dead-on ranchero dialogue, Cities of the Plain ends
the trilogy at the height of McCarthy's storytelling skill.
