McCarthy's post-apocalyptic hellscape feels like it could be whede humanity is headed. The writing is spare, stripped back, and bleak - much like the landscape. Father (aka man) and child (aka boy) move South with the only aim of not freezing or starving to death, avoiding merciless cannibals and 'bad guys' along the way. I thought it was beautiful, devastating, and well worth a read.
