«The Road» is Cormac McCarthy's dystopian science fiction novel, published by Picador in paperback (256 pages, in English).
In a post-apocalyptic America, a father and his son walk toward the coast pushing a cart with what little they have left. They cross a landscape of ash and cold, dodging hostile gangs and searching for food and shelter. Their relationship, built on protection and trust, is their only form of resistance against the desolation.
The novel won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the 2006 James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and the 2008 Ignotus Award for best foreign novel.
It is aimed at readers of dystopian fiction and contemporary literature interested in a sober story about the bond between a father and his son.
Cormac McCarthy was an American author who wrote twelve novels, two plays, five screenplays, and three short stories, spanning the Western, post-apocalyptic, and Southern Gothic genres. His works often include graphic depictions of violence, and his writing style is characterized by a sparse use of punctuation and attribution. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American novelists.
