Description

By the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2007, this is the story of a father and son walking alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. It has been hailed as 'the first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation. Here is an American classic which, at a stroke, makes McCarthy a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature . . . An absolutely wonderful book that people will be reading for generations' Andrew Oâe(tm)Hagan Harvey Weinstein's film was released in the UK on 8 January 2010 with an all-star cast including Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall, and introducing major new young talent, Kodi Smit McPhee, with a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. âe~A work of such terrible beauty that you will struggle to look awayâe(tm) Tom Gatti, The Times âe~So good that it will devour you, in parts. It is incandescentâe(tm) Niall Griffiths, Daily Telegraph âe~You will read on, absolutely convinced, thrilled, mesmerised. All the modern novel can do is done hereâe(tm) Alan Warner, Guardian
