The Border Trilogy is a series of novels written by Cormac McCarthy and published between 1992 and 1998.The books in the series are: All the Pretty Horses (1992) - 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 a place where dreams are paid for in blood. The Crossing (1994) - Set in 1930s New Mexico, it tells the story of two brothers, Billy and Boyd Parham, who, after capturing a she-wolf that thrashes their property, decides to send it back to Mexico. There the brothers learn the hard truth about life and the inevitable tragedy that awaits them there. Cities of the Plain (1998) - Set in 1952, both John Grady Cole and Billy Parham now work together on a ranch in New Mexico. Though they soon knew that the things they hold dear will lose with time and John Grady's obsession with trying to save the life of a troubled prostitute in Mexico will set off a chain of irreversible tragic events. | |

| The Border Trilogy / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Crossing is notably darker and somber in tone, emphasizing philosophical inquiry, deeper themes, and the inevitable tragedy that awaits Billy and Boyd Parham. Though it's not without a tragedy, it's almost a stark contrast to the enjoyable, thrilling and sometimes comic tone of All the Pretty Horses and Cities of the Plain. | |

Canon Welding: Unsurprisingly, Cities of the Plain ties in the two previously unrelated entries together, with John Grady Cole and Billy Parham appearing together. | |

| The Border Trilogy / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: With the exception of Cities of the Plain, which was published as the third and final entry of the trilogy, the two other entries were published non-chronologically, with the middle entry All the Pretty Horses being published first, the first entry The Crossing came in second. | |
