«The Sunset Limited» is Cormac McCarthy's novel in dramatic form, published by Dramatist's Play Service in paperback (61 pages, in English).
On a New York subway platform, an ex-convict saves the life of an atheist professor and convinces him to come up to his apartment. There, the two men, called Black and White, engage in an intense dialogue about faith, despair, and the meaning of life as the ex-convict, hopeful, tries to get the skeptic to find a reason to keep living.
The piece, written for the theater, rests on the dialogue between its only two characters: Black, an ex-convict and former addict, and White, a university professor.
For readers of theater and Cormac McCarthy who want a short piece with a philosophical debate between faith and skepticism.
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.
