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.
昨天拿到出版社寄来的这本新书,带回家过周末的本意是想消遣,结果夜里3点关了电脑拿它催眠的结果,就是一直不停气地看到5点钟,全部看完。 我完全被书中近乎毫无感情的短句迷住。这些短句读起来有力而直指人心,开头第一页,它们营造的范围就把我从盛夏的炎热中带入了一个寒冷...

评分“天涯远不远?” “不远!” “人就在天涯,天涯怎么会远?” ——摘自《天涯•明月•刀》 长路漫漫,人生如负重远行,而路的尽头又是如何?科马克•麦卡锡(Cormac McCarthy)的最新力作《路》(The road),以一场世纪末日来临前的惨淡景象,一对父子的求生之旅,重...
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...
评分美国作家科马克•麦卡锡为人低调,离群索居。在鲜有的几次访谈中,他就像西部片里的硬汉一样,“我欣赏动荡不安、危机四伏的生活,没什么比在旅途中见到能置人于死地的动物更有趣了。”于是,路上生活成为麦卡锡的一种写作姿态,生死是他小说永远的主题,而危险与动荡的境地...
海明威和福克纳的唯一继承人,实至名归。一条深度展现毁灭,绝望,挣扎和人性的末日之路。
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……
