The Road
McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel follows a father and son journeying through a devastated world. Through spare, poetic prose, it explores love, survival, hope, and what it means to remain human in the face of total destruction. The work is a meditation on parental love and the preservation of goodness in a world stripped of meaning.
