The Road

Start anywhere in The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Filed under Literature & Fiction. Speed and chapter jumps sit above the description.

Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2007 America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation. Bleak but clever, with glimmers of hope and humor, The Road is a striking allegory and perhaps Cormac McCarthy’s finest novel to date. This remarkable departure from his previous works has been hailed by Kirkus Reviews as a “novel of horrific beauty, where death is the only truth”. McCarthy, a New York Times widely enjoyed author, is a past recipient of the National Audiobook Award and National Book Critics Circle Award. He is widely considered one of America’s greatest writers. Check out more selections from Oprah’s Book Club . ©2006 M-71, Ltd. (P)2006 Recorded Books LLC
