The Road
von Cormac McCarthy
A man and his young son traverse a blasted American landscape‚ covered with the ashes of “the late world.” The man can still remember the time before — but not the boy. There is nothing for them except survival‚ and the precious last vestiges of their own humanity. At once brutal and tender‚ despairing and hopeful‚ spare of language and profoundly moving‚ The Road is a fierce and haunting meditation on the tenuous divide between civilization and savagery‚ and the essential — sometime terrifying — power of filial love. It is a masterpiece.

Rezension von JenayExtremely engaging and beautifully written. McCarthy understand grief on a deep level. How else could he act as poet and novelist in one with excerpts like this: “Everything uncoupled from its shoring. Unsupported in the ashen air. Sustained by a breath, trembling and brief. If only my heart were stone.” Yet even with this twisting of sentence formation and pensive thoughts, he still twists a story that can be accessible to almost anyone. Some warnings: there are horrific things that happen but nothing is described in gory detail.
