McCarthy's Pulitzer winning apocalyptic novel, The Road, follows a Father and Son's epiv journey to the Pacific Ocean from American's Destroyed midlands.  The world has been destroyed and the wanderers are going through absolutely dangerous and unpredictable abandoned land.  They are two survivors, but they meet every kind of villain and a few good men along the way.The ending is a bit controversial--some think the boy, after his father's death, is saved; but a lot of critics says that he has fallen into a cannibal family.  McCarthy doesn't promote hope--he's stuck on surviving a cruel and chaotic world.
