WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE. The searing,
post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to
survive. A father and his son walk alone through burned America.
Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind.
It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is
gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although
they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have
nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless
bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart
of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly
moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which
no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, each the
other's world entire, are sustained by love. Awesome in the
totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the
worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate
destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that
keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
Characters: 9. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
