All the Pretty Horses
, the first novel of the Border Trilogy, published in 1992, was an
international bestseller, winning both the National Book Award and the
National Book Critics Circle Award.
It tells the tale of John Grady Cole, who at sixteen finds himself the
last bewildered survivor of generations of Texas ranchers, cut off from
the only life he ever imagined. With two companions, he sets off for
Mexico on a sometimes idyllic, sometimes comic journey to a place where
dreams are paid for in blood.
