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

正在讀。看過電影之後去讀的，和颱詞一摸一樣...還是很喜歡。就留作某人的生日禮物吧
评分活著確實一點意義都沒有。隻有想到有天能徹底的消失，像從來沒來過這個世界一樣，一點存在過的痕跡都沒有，纔會在心裏感到溫暖和輕鬆。
评分有種等待戈多的感覺。不過一個是在等，一個是想走。

评分That's what an education does. It makes the world personal. //You were a prisoner before you got here. A death-row prisoner. //很難麵對的問題&說不齣口的答案.//宗教的討論少見的精彩. //意義&拯救 //突然爆哭。
