All the Pretty Horses is a 1992 Western novel by Cormac McCarthy and is the first entry in The Border Trilogy.Set in 1949 Texas, it follows John Grady Cole, a 16-year-old boy who is cut off from his family's generation-long ranch life that he only dreamed of. Unable to accept this, he sets off south to Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins and acquires a younger companion along the way to find work on the ranch. This idyllic and sometimes comic adventure leads in fact to tragic events, where dreams are paid for in blood.A sequel, The Crossing, was published in 1994.The novel not only brought McCarthy's hard-won critical acclaim and a wider audience after writing for almost 3 decades, but it also earned him two of the most prestigious literary awards, the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1993.The novel was also adapted as a 2000 film, starring Matt Damon and Penélope Cruz, and directed by Billy Bob Thornton. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| All the Pretty Horses / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: After John Grady kidnaps the captain who imprisoned him and Rawlins and killed Blevins, he hands him over to a group of Mexican men, and it is implied that they will kill the captain, not unlike how the captain killed Blevins. In the movie, one of them is even explicitly shown to be a man who was also imprisoned by the captain and who had previously shared a cell with Cole. | |
