The Road was published on October 2, 2006 in a print run of 250,000 copies. A modern classic from one of the finest contemporary American authors, The Road is violent, haunting story that follows a father and a son as they struggle to survive and keep their humanity intact amidst the desperation and lawlessness of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The novel was a popular and critical success, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 2006. A contemporary review in the New York Times hailed the novel as "art that both frightens and inspires...a book that is simple yet mysterious, simultaneously cryptic and crystal clear"; USA Today praised McCarthy's ability to "write so beautifully and convincingly about violence, despair and men in desperate situations...amid this Godot-like bleakness, McCarthy shares something vital and enduring." The novel was adapted for the screen in 2009. Near Fine (Item #8159)
