Title: Desolation and endurance
Product review: What survives after desolation? What drives the human soul to endure? How do we come to think about ourselves and about the world when we must accept the apocalypse? Cormac McCarthy, with his insight into the human psyche and his seemingly inexhaustible ability to convey it in stark (and sometimes invented) language, leads us through the unfolding drama while placing us into the mind of the lead character. To call this novel grim is a tremendous understatement, but also misses the point. What drives these characters is the same thing that has driven our species to survive many other massively challenging sets of circumstances over our evolutionary history. That drive, while not uniquely human, is essential to understanding how we got here.
