Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. The main character has no name, no parents and his life is full of violence and death. It's all he knows, so much as he knows anything.
It’s being adapted into a film now. I don’t know how they’re going to pull it off.
I feel like it would need to be a television show instead and even then.... I don't think it's possible to give it credit.
I don't know if I'd want to see it, it'd be hard to watch on two counts:
They do it well, somehow, and I have to look away for a lot of the scenes.
It's been done horribly and the book is irreparably marred by it.
