A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment, 'Black' and 'White', as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history mining the origins of two diametrically opposing world views, they begin a dialectic redolent of the best of Beckett. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life. Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deeply intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page.' Financial Times 'The author at his best, meditating on life, suffering and religion' Shortlist 'It's remarkable that Cormac McCarthy could revive the antique genre of the philosophical dialogue as convincingly as he does here. His prose bites.' Evening Standard

评分先看了电影才想读这本书，读完了发现电影真的是完完全全一字不差的忠于原著。。不过有本书在手里感觉好得多。这礼物谢谢你。
评分换个角度想算不算抑郁与妄想的对话。死是一切的终点，活着只是因为对死亡恐惧。
评分活着确实一点意义都没有。只有想到有天能彻底的消失，像从来没来过这个世界一样，一点存在过的痕迹都没有，才会在心里感到温暖和轻松。
评分好小本书。跟电影略有不同。
