In this conversation, Steve and Carl D. Albert delve into Cormac McCarthy's 'The Crossing,' the second book in the Border Trilogy. They explore the thematic parallels between this book and 'All the Pretty Horses,' focusing on the coming-of-age journeys of the characters, the inherent violence in humanity, and the symbolism of nature, particularly through the character of the wolf. The discussion also highlights the contrasting paths of the brothers Billy and Boyd, the impact of tragedy on their lives, and the cultural reflections of America and Mexico within McCarthy's narrative. The conversation concludes with a deep appreciation for Billy's character and the emotional weight of the story, emphasizing the lessons learned through suffering and the search for meaning in a violent world.
