The novel has a relentless, cinematic quality to its development. But, as always with McCarthy, the psychological aspects also come to the forefront. He builds up the tension in his account to an almost unbearable level. As I read through The Road, I wanted at times to put it down, so overwhelming was the intensity of the narrative. But I felt equally compelled to read on, caught up in the descriptions and unfolding events of this powerful work of literature.
The Road is a major work by a leading American writer. It also serves as testimony to the power of speculative fiction to infuse new life and energy into mainstream fiction. But however you classify it, this cautionary tale is a must-read book.
