I understood the boy’s grieving and how he coped with his papa’s death. I lost my dad the after I finished reading this novel. I dislike giving away the ending, but like the boy I lost my dad. The boy learns that he carries the fire in his heart. 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.Ĭormac McCarthy’s The Road is about father and his son trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world filled with “bad guys.” The father decides they are heading south and east to the coast, partly in search of the “good guys.” The nameless man teaches his son to “carry the fire” while the nameless boy teaches his father compassion for others. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. A searing, post apocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece.Ī father and his son walk alone through burned America.
