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

有种等待戈多的感觉。不过一个是在等，一个是想走。
评分我对对话体的喜欢真的是完全走火入魔
评分我对对话体的喜欢真的是完全走火入魔
评分正在读。看过电影之后去读的，和台词一摸一样...还是很喜欢。就留作某人的生日礼物吧
评分虽然电影版台词只做了两三处小的改动 但看完书再看一遍电影发现两个演技精湛的演员的表演反倒有点过度过于有生气 而湮没了阅读文本时旁观两个叫黑和白的人在那里对话辩论的纯粹感
