Texas is a state well acquainted with heat.When Cormac McCarthy, the great mythmaker of the American West, who died earlier this month, described the landscapes of the borderlands, he often turned the heat into a creature that had an almost physical form.The heat is "crenellated," fashioned into "serried planes"; it rises, waves, blazes, and shimmers; horses and men, living and dead, dissolve or crumble into it.
