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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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, \u003ci\u003eCities of the Plain \u003c\/i\u003eis a genuine American epic.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage International","offers":[{"title":"Cities of the Plain | Cormac McCarthy | Paperback | 9780679747192 | New | Fiction 1286618","offer_id":50550595256578,"sku":"1286618","price":29.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71-2Txmn35L.jpg?v=1790469442","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/cities-of-the-plain","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
