The Road
A searing, post apocalyptic
novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.
A father
and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged
landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when
the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast,
although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have
nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that
stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each
other.
