## About this book

A father and son traverse a desolate, burned America in this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. As ash fills the air and cold cracks stones, they push toward the coast with little more than a pistol, scavenged food, and each other. Their bond is the sole defense against lawless bands that roam the road.

The Road, volume one of the Untitled series, is a work of literary fiction that blends coming-of-age elements with a saga of survival. Cormac McCarthy crafts an unflinching meditation on human capacity for destruction and tenderness. This harrowing journey tests the limits of hope, revealing what keeps two people alive amid total devastation.
