La carretera

A Fiction, Dystopia, Science Fiction book. How would you know if you were the last man on Earth? He said. I don't...

Inquietante y lúcida, la última novela del gran Cormac McCarthy tiene como escenario un terreno baldío, un páramo carbonizado que es lo único que queda de lo que alguna vez fue Norteamérica. Ya no existe más vida sobre la tierra que la humana y los hombres se comen los unos a los otros. Un padre y su hijo recorren este mundo apocalíptico sin saber cuál es su destino. El protagonista recuerda los viejos tiempos, pero no sabe con certeza si esa memoria no es más que un mito, una necesidad de crear una historia fundacional que dé sentido a la desolación que le rodea.Una demoledora fábula sobre el futuro del ser humano, destinada a convertirse en la obra maestra del autor.

According to dualism, the good God does the best he can to promote good and combat evil but he can only do so much since evil is a powerful counterforce in its own right. The ancient Gnostics were dualists with their scriptures... I finished this novel quite a few days ago. Normally, I would hop right up and start composing my little goodreads ramble, publish whatever nonsense came out, and go about my day. This novel, however, left me feeling like an incubus was on my chest, paralyzing my brain and limiting my mobility. I set it down and stared at the ceiling.... The main point I want to deal with is how I managed to walk away from this book with a trenchant sense of gratitude at the forefront of my mind. I certainly wont mislead and paint this story as one that directly radiates things to be happy about, but I do think it does so indirectly (and the term "happy" is far too facile for my purposes...
