The Road
287 pages; Knopf Doubleday

Because it's the fiercest and finest post-apocalyptic novel we've read, and the one that gives us hope.



The Road is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best of which we are capable: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
