Pro Reviews: The Road
[Cormac] McCarthy establishes himself here as the closest thing in American literature to an Old Testament prophet, trolling the blackest registers of human emotion to create a haunting and grim novel about civilization's slow death after the power goes out.
A novel of horrific beauty, where death is the only truth.
[T]renchant and terrifying, written with stripped-down urgency and fueled by the force of a universal nightmare...THE ROAD would be pure misery if not for its stunning, savage beauty.
THE ROAD has what John Steinbeck called 'unity feeling,' the sense of everything having been allowed entirely to cohere....When his desire for poeticism is profitably channeled and controlled--as it is for the majority of THE ROAD--Cormac McCarthy shows that h e is one of the greatest writers alive.
[A] tense psychological drama about a man living on the edge of sanity.
Stunning and heart-wrenching...with the startling vividness and complexity of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
[Cormac McCarthy] has given us his great American nightmare....THE ROAD is a novel of transforming power and formal risk....All the modern novel can do is done here....Beauty and goodness are here aplenty and we should think about them. While we can.
