Cormac McCarthy is Oct 2006. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
An intense, dystopian book that will go down in history as Cormac McCarthy's greatest work.
A man strolls across a burned-out America with his kid. The only movement in the devastated terrain is the ash blowing in the wind. Stones may be cracked by the extreme cold, and the snowfall leaves a dark landscape. It's black in the sky. They are headed toward the seaside, but they have no idea what, if anything, is waiting for them there. They have nothing except a cart of scavenged food, a handgun to protect themselves against the criminal groups who prowl the road, their clothing, and each other.
The Road is a really poignant narrative about a trip. It boldly imagines a world without hope, but one in which love sustains the father and his kid, who are "each the other's world entire." Magnificent in its whole, it is an unwavering reflection on the worst and the finest that humanity is capable of: the ultimate destructiveness, the desperate persistence, and the sensitivity that sustains two individuals in the face of complete destruction.
