Cormac McCarthy is an American novelist and playwright. He has written ten novels in the Southern Gothic, western, and post-apocalyptic genres and has also written plays and screenplays. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for The Road, and his 2005 novel No Country for Old Men was adapted as a 2007 film of the same name, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
His earlier Blood Meridian (1985) was among Time Magazine's poll of 100 best English-language books published between 1925 and 2005 and he placed joint runner-up for a similar title in a poll taken in 2006 by The New York Times of the best American fiction published in the last 25 years. Literary critic Harold Bloom named him as one of the four major American novelists of his time, along with Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and Philip Roth. He is frequently compared by modern reviewers to William Faulkner.
In 2009, Cormac McCarthy won the PEN/Saul Bellow Award, a lifetime achievement award given by the PEN American Center.

在国内文学界,科马克•麦卡锡的名头确实不怎么响亮。2002年国内曾翻译出版过他的“边境三部曲”(《骏马》、《穿越》和《平原上的城市》),除此之外我们对这位早已在美国红透半边天的作家知之寥寥,尤其他的那部入选二十世纪最出色的一百部英文小说的《血色子午线》至今还...
评分昨天拿到出版社寄来的这本新书,带回家过周末的本意是想消遣,结果夜里3点关了电脑拿它催眠的结果,就是一直不停气地看到5点钟,全部看完。 我完全被书中近乎毫无感情的短句迷住。这些短句读起来有力而直指人心,开头第一页,它们营造的范围就把我从盛夏的炎热中带入了一个寒冷...
评分《長路》,是08年高安兄弟作品《二百萬奪命奇案》原作作者戈馬克麥卡錫(Cormac McCarthy)又一改編成電影的小說。閱畢本書,深覺改編成電影難拍,但無可否認是一本震撼心靈的小說,比《險路》(《二百萬奪命奇案》原作中譯名)還要懾人,也更為純粹。 小說的題材,是長久以來不斷...
评分美国作家科马克•麦卡锡为人低调,离群索居。在鲜有的几次访谈中,他就像西部片里的硬汉一样,“我欣赏动荡不安、危机四伏的生活,没什么比在旅途中见到能置人于死地的动物更有趣了。”于是,路上生活成为麦卡锡的一种写作姿态,生死是他小说永远的主题,而危险与动荡的境地...

A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it 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.
我们都是小溪里的鳟鱼,背上刻着蠕虫般扭曲的地图和迷宫,最终汇入海洋。我们寻不到前路,黑暗刺伤眼和耳,但身上携带着火种,能够传递能够重燃。漫长绝望的旅程,伴随漫长的阅读跨度,很多细节不用查词典,就在脑海想象的大背景中直直地凸显出来,优秀的小说在大脑里重现的时候往往就是一部电影,甚至原版作品比译本有更强烈的画面感,而那末日的废弃荒凉只让我想到了寂静岭。
评分心灵上没被觉得太多人性的光辉而感动,尽管理性上能感觉到。死的人过去了,生的人坚持活下去。that's life.
评分比起麦卡锡的血色子午线和老无所依,大爱这本路,末日的枯萎萧瑟在一对父子缓缓行进中变得更加虚空,把人推向更深更浓的黑暗,带着一点点稀薄的希望。那些语言和对话明明简单到不行,却是充满生存的哲学和某种奇异的诗意。You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.
评分心灵上没被觉得太多人性的光辉而感动,尽管理性上能感觉到。死的人过去了,生的人坚持活下去。that's life.
评分这其实是我读的第一本英文原版小说……
