Yesterday I finished the beautiful, but kinda depressing book The Road. Written by Cormac McCarthy, the guy behind “No Country for Old Men”. It’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Goes right up in the Top 5. It’s very poetic and unsentimental at the same time and I suppose there is where it’s beauty lays. It’s a story about a father and his son, struggling through a post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has been lost for ever. It’s about a fathers love for his son. It’s about hope without comfort. It could be seen as a warning.
Now they’ve gone and made a movie of the book. Guess I have to watch it, even though they will never get it right and how could they. One of the strenghts of the book is it’s language. Stripped down to the essence and beautiful. I can nothing but recommend it. No Country for Old Men next!
