All the Pretty Horses is an American classic to stand with the finest literary achievements of the century" (San Francisco Chronicle). "A taut, poetic evocation of the remote backcountry of south Texas and northern Mexico, strongly imagined and beautifully rendered by a very fine writer—one of our best—who deserves far more renown. The perception of horses is extraordinary, and Jimmy Blevins will take a place as one of the great characters of American literature" (Peter Matthiessen).
