Recent Read: The Road
16 July 2007
Okay. The above word is the most profound in this entire novel, and that's not an insult at all. Cormac McCarthy's novel is unlike anything (I mean it), anything that I've ever read.
Set in post-apocalyptic America, The Road is about a man and his son struggling to survive in a lifeless/heartless/beauty-less world. That's really it. So simple, yet so profound.
The book has no chapters, and so much of the backdrop of this book is vague and unanswered. But the details aren't important, because this book is about the relationship of a man and his son. It is emotionally jarring, and at times tough to read...but it's worth it.
Okay.
