"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy is set in a post apocalyptic, burned out America. A father and young son trekking on foot across the frozen, burned out land - heading somewhere, with nowhere to go - pushing their possessions in a shopping cart.
McCarthy's style - the sentence structure, staccato dialog, detailed non-descript places, total lack of proper nouns - all blend to create a tale that is both bland and vibrant, is subtly familiar yet undeniably other worldly, is heart warming and deeply haunting. Highly recommend [5/5]
