Contemporary Reads: The Road



















The Road (2006) is a superb novel by Cormac McCarthy. After some unnamed cataclysm, a man and his son walk on the road trying to stay alive. The world is a desolate, dusty and ashen place, gray and rainy.

This is a very sad, brilliantly written and ultimately hopeful book.
