Blood Meridian is worth a Nobel on it's own, I've often wondered why he's never received it, he's distinctive and mesmerising at his best.

Same, maybe BM is just too... pulp genre-wise somehow? Or too cruel while being fictional and Nobel tolerates cruelty when it's based on true events?

I think it has some basis in real events and characters, eg The Judge was real (though obviously somewhat reimagined here).

The Glanton Gang was also real: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joel_Glanton
