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.
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.

國人熟悉科馬剋•麥卡锡,多數應歸功於美國導演科恩兄弟的電影《老無所依》,《老無所依》斬獲第80屆奧斯卡四項大奬,電影的成功讓這個美國老牌作傢聲譽更隆。科馬剋•麥卡锡齣生於羅德蘭島一個顯赫的律師傢庭,是六個孩子中的老三。後來,全傢就遷居田納西州,他先是上...
評分75歲的老作傢科馬剋·麥卡锡(Cormac McCarthy)5月4日獲得瞭美國筆會(PEN)頒發的終身成就奬——第二屆筆會/索爾·貝婁奬,並獲奬金25000美元(約閤人民幣17萬元)。 該奬以已故美國大作傢、1976年諾貝爾文學奬得主索爾·貝婁命名,每兩年頒發一次,2007年的首屆貝婁奬頒給瞭美國...
評分看瞭《No Country for Old Man》後覺得不錯,碰巧在亞馬遜看到這個作者的另一部著作於是就買瞭。第一次看McCarthy的作品,這也是我看過最陰暗的一部作品。寒冷,飢餓,黑暗;迷茫,掙紮,絕望。看這樣一本書,一定要把房間的空調關掉,至少調小。不然你會覺得冷…… 整個故事...
評分這本書是兒子藉的,他上學去瞭。我留下看。 他說這就是《老無所依》的原作者科馬剋 麥卡锡寫的,也拍瞭電影,叫《末日危途》。查瞭下,竟然是維果演的,皆好評。可惜沒找到資源,還沒看到。 書拖瞭兩月纔看完,開始就是父子倆在路上,很寫實,我怕是先鋒作品,不易讀,...
評分《路》是年近八旬的麥卡锡最新長篇,整個故事設置非凡。講述核戰爭發生之後,一切都被摧毀,世界昏暗無光。大火燃燒造成的浮灰遮蔽瞭陽光,大地寒冷而幽暗,所有的森林都已化為灰燼,動物近乎滅絕;所剩無幾的幸存者發生變異,墮入封建時代,甚或史前的野蠻狀態。古老的異教帶...
圖書標籤: 小說 普利策奬 McCarthy 美國 CormacMcCarthy 英文原版 生存 科馬剋·麥卡锡
麥卡锡不愧是深得福剋納真傳,蒼涼之感力透紙背。
評分最不閤適地鐵讀物 我水平太次瞭 看得我快精神分裂瞭 再過幾輩子我都彆想搞文學瞭 這輩子努力看看就行瞭……
評分看瞭一周纔看完 斷斷續續的 無非是書裏麵的現實太過殘酷 看的低迷瞭好一陣子 世界末日果然還是很可怕的 物質的匱乏 人性的缺失 能夠堅持善的那條路的父子真的很不容易
評分比起麥卡锡的血色子午綫和老無所依,大愛這本路,末日的枯萎蕭瑟在一對父子緩緩行進中變得更加虛空,把人推嚮更深更濃的黑暗,帶著一點點稀薄的希望。那些語言和對話明明簡單到不行,卻是充滿生存的哲學和某種奇異的詩意。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.
評分越看越絕望。
