Synopsis
Cormac McCarthy's bleak vision of the American landscape has always had a cataclysmic undertone, so it comes as no surprise that THE ROAD is actually set in a post-apocalyptic world of ash and bitter cold where cannibalistic marauders roam the countryside. In this dire place, a man and his son travel towards the sea armed only with a revolver and two bullets. Amid this desolation, a tin of canned pears is thing of wonder, and a broken wheel on their shopping cart can mean the difference between life and death. Their love for each other is fierce, but the son fears that his father has, in his desperation, become as savage and brutal as the world around him. Cormac McCarthy writes with a searing white heat, his images and language strike deep in the reader, and his vision of humanity is inexorable and haunting.

Industry reviews
"A novel of horrific beauty, where death is the only truth."
 (07/15/2006)

"[Cormac] McCarthy establishes himself here as the closest thing in American literature to an Old Testament prophet, trolling the blackest registers of human emotion to create a haunting and grim novel about civilization's slow death after the power goes out."
 (07/24/2006)

"Stunning and heart-wrenching...with the startling vividness and complexity of a Hieronymus Bosch painting."
 (10/22/2006)

"[Cormac McCarthy] has given us his great American nightmare....THE ROAD is a novel of transforming power and formal risk....All the modern novel can do is done here....Beauty and goodness are here aplenty and we should think about them. While we can."
 (11/04/2006)

"THE ROAD has what John Steinbeck called 'unity feeling,' the sense of everything having been allowed entirely to cohere....When his desire for poeticism is profitably channeled and controlled--as it is for the majority of THE ROAD--Cormac McCarthy shows that he is one of the greatest writers alive."
 (11/10/2006)

"[T]renchant and terrifying, written with stripped-down urgency and fueled by the force of a universal nightmare. THE ROAD would be pure misery if not for its stunning, savage beauty."
