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.
国人熟悉科马克•麦卡锡,多数应归功于美国导演科恩兄弟的电影《老无所依》,《老无所依》斩获第80届奥斯卡四项大奖,电影的成功让这个美国老牌作家声誉更隆。科马克•麦卡锡出生于罗德兰岛一个显赫的律师家庭,是六个孩子中的老三。后来,全家就迁居田纳西州,他先是上...

评分在国内文学界,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...
最令我绝望的作品
评分这其实是我读的第一本英文原版小说……
评分最不合适地铁读物 我水平太次了 看得我快精神分裂了 再过几辈子我都别想搞文学了 这辈子努力看看就行了……
评分看了一周才看完 断断续续的 无非是书里面的现实太过残酷 看的低迷了好一阵子 世界末日果然还是很可怕的 物质的匮乏 人性的缺失 能够坚持善的那条路的父子真的很不容易
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.
