The Crossing
by Cormac McCarthy
I don’t know that I’ve ever read anything else quite so sad. This novel is divided into four sections, and at the end of the first section McCarthy presents childlessness, reproductive trauma, and loss in an incredibly powerful way. He just nails it. I will say no more because I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone. But if you’re interested in exploring grief—and in particular the variety of grief produced by disruption of natural reproductive cycles, with all this entails for consequently nonexistent futures—section one of The Crossing is for you.
