The Road
By: McCarthy, Cormac
There is nothing funny about Cormac McCarthy’s latest novel. It is a compelling, provocative story about a man and his boy trying to survive in a post-apocalyptical environment. It is so real and so frightening, it seems that McCarthy displays prescient tendencies. Has he been there and back? Can he see the future? Is it this bleak? Reading this novel is a spiritual experience. I am deeply indebted to Reggie Akers, Fine Arts Library circulation supervisor, for recommending it to me. My vision of the future has been transformed.
