Excerpt from Heart of the Sunset Away to her left lay the yellow flood of the Rio Grande, but the woman, though tempted to direction, knew better than to yield. At miles Of barrens lay between, and she told herself that she could never cover such a distance. N O, the water-hole was nearer; it must be close at hand. If she could only think a little more clearly, she could locate it. Once more She tried, as she had tried many times before, to recall the exact point where she had shot her horse, and to map in her mind's eye the foot-weary course she had traveled from that point onward.

Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted play from the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page' – Financial Times A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment the two men, known as 'Black' and 'White', begin a conversatino that leads each back through his own history. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con in recovery for drug addiction, is the more hopeful of the men. He is, however, desperate to convince White of the power of faith – while White is desperate to deny it. Between them, they hope to discover the meaning of life itself. Praise for Cormac McCarthy: ‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series '[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain

Excerpt from Sunset A needle in Alix's life was a serious thing, it was an implement Of labour such as no one would dream of treating lightly. A deal table above her head was littered with an entanglement Of thread, reels, pins, scraps, lining, tapes, ribbons, laces and silk, out Of which confound ing disorder, skilful hands and a needle were called upon to evolve order, in the form of raiment. Be yond the deal table, behind the child, stood an open box of crippled toys: toys crippled in honest service, but out of which no creditable resurrection was possible.
