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...

评分《路》是年近八旬的麦卡锡最新长篇,整个故事设置非凡。讲述核战争发生之后,一切都被摧毁,世界昏暗无光。大火燃烧造成的浮灰遮蔽了阳光,大地寒冷而幽暗,所有的森林都已化为灰烬,动物近乎灭绝;所剩无几的幸存者发生变异,堕入封建时代,甚或史前的野蛮状态。古老的异教带...
评分看了《No Country for Old Man》后觉得不错,碰巧在亚马逊看到这个作者的另一部著作于是就买了。第一次看McCarthy的作品,这也是我看过最阴暗的一部作品。寒冷,饥饿,黑暗;迷茫,挣扎,绝望。看这样一本书,一定要把房间的空调关掉,至少调小。不然你会觉得冷…… 整个故事...
在没有希望的时候,继续坚持信仰,继续走下去。也许作者是在用这个故事,暗喻人生吧。走下去,即使没有希望;走下去,没有别的原因,就是因为我们还活着。
评分还是不太懂教儿子的,但末日危途上,能活下来就是伟大。
评分最令我绝望的作品
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
评分心灵上没被觉得太多人性的光辉而感动,尽管理性上能感觉到。死的人过去了,生的人坚持活下去。that's life.
