The Road by Cormac McCarthy: The New Oprah Book Club Selection

Oprah has selected her new book of the month. The author who is lucky enough to have his book featured to all viewers and readers is Comack McCarthy. The Road is a book about the type of destruction that humans are capable of creating. It is also a meditation of the best that we area capable of. In this book, Mr. McCarthy gives us some warnings and foods for thought. "The Road 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."

What can you say about this book's setting?

"Set in the smoking ashes of a post-apocalyptic America, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road tells the story of a father-son journey toward the sea and an uncertain salvation. The world they pass through is a ghastly vision of scorched countryside and blasted cities “held by cores of blackened looters who tunneled among the ruins and crawled from the rubble white of tooth and eye carrying charred and anonymous tins of food in nylon nets like shoppers in the commissaries of hell” [p. 181]."
