McCarthy is obsessed with dard road trip stories, obviously, and he is very good at telling them. I was fascinated by this post doomsday tale. His characters and stories are always tightly drawn, and I am fascinated that he can do this with such sparse prose, reminds me of Hemingway's style. The movie was excellent as well.
