The Road and the road

So I've just finished The Road and it's absolutely fantastic. It's by Cormac McCarthy, who also wrote No Country for Old Men...which is also fantastic. But The Road is better. McCarthy has this wonderful way of writing, and it's really more like prose, or at least the two books i've read are in that style. He composes epics, and he refuses to use dialog. But the best thing about The Road is it's truly crushing view of a post-apocalyptic landscape. but the best thing about The Road is how perfectly it describes the virtue of a small kindness. but the best thing about The Road is that it is impacting. Few of the novels I've read were anything more than an anecdote, and I've read plenty. It puts The Road in a category of mine that's shorter than a hand. the most interesting character in No Country was an autistic murderer. and the most interesting character in The Road
is hope.

shit made me cry
