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.

评分 评分在 “后911”时代的今天,经济危机与恐怖袭击一再上演,末日恐慌隐伏于每个人的内心。这就像是一种黑暗,比阴霾更加浓冽、比黑色更加冷酷。而这黑暗恰恰正是美国作家科马克•麦卡锡的标志。从《边境三部曲》到《老无所依》,再到《路》,麦卡锡一路延续着某种似曾相识的荒凉...

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.
as black as the cover. depressed at the beginning, but it still cannot blacken love in the world.
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.
评分最令我绝望的作品
评分现在大概明白之前血色子午线翻译为何那么烂。麦卡锡的书读原文感觉很棒,虽然很多单词都可能不认识,但总体上并不影响理解。不信上帝的人,这一次说we have to carry the fire.
评分可读性比较差,基本上没情节
