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.
