A sharp copy of McCarthy's screenplay involving a lawyer and his entry into the drug trade near the Texas-Mexico border. Basis for Ridley Scott's 2013 film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz, and Penelope Cruz. Unlike McCarthy's novels, his plays and screenplays have always had considerably smaller print runs, and thus, we surmise that proof copies for those titles would have been printed in very small numbers indeed. One of just a handful of copies of this proof we have seen in commerce. 8383.
