“A postatomic apocalypse novel as we've

never seen one before, a black book of

wondrous paragraphs that reads as though

Samuel Beckett had dared himself to outdo

Harlan Ellison.”

Chicago Tribune

Alan Cheuse

“The book wrenches our nightmares into a gray light

where they don't vanish but become more vivid.”Los Angeles TimesSteve Erickson

“Many authors have imagined

a post-nuclear world.

McCarthy is particularly well-

suited to the task because he

writes so beautifully and

convincingly about violence,

despair and men in desperate

situations.”

USA Today

Dierdre Donahue

“But even with its flaws, there's just

no getting around it: The Road is a

frightening, profound tale that drags

us into places we don't want to go,

forces us to think about questions we

don't want to ask...Ultimately, my

cynicism was overwhelmed by the

visceral power of McCarthy's prose

and the simple beauty of this hero's

love for his son.”Washington PostRon Charles

“Stunning and heart-wrenching...A remarkable and unforgettable

novel.”

San Francisco ChronicleDavid Hellman

“With the first gray light he rose and left the boy sleeping and walked out to the road and squatted and studied the country to the south. Barren, silent, godless. He thought the month was October but he wasnt sure. He hadnt kept a calendar for years. They were moving south. There’d be no surviving another winter here.”
