The graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthys Pulitzer Prizewinning postapocalyptic classic, The Road, approved and authorized by McCarthy and illustrated by acclaimed cartoonist Manu Larcenet. Now an Eisner Award winner and named a “must-read graphic novel” by Amazon.
“Superb. A suitably dark graphic treatment of McCarthys postapocalyptic masterpiece.” (Kirkus)
The story of a nameless father and son trying to survive with their humanity intact in a postapocalyptic wasteland where Earths natural resources have been diminished, and some survivors are left to raise others for meat, The Road is one of Cormac McCarthys bleakest and most prescient novels.
This first official graphic novel adaptation of McCarthys work is illustrated by acclaimed French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who ably transforms the world depicted by McCarthys spare and brutal prose into stark ink drawings that add an additional layer to this haunting tale of family love and human perseverance.
Dedicated to his son, John Francis McCarthy, McCarthys The Road is one of his most personal novels. Ranked 17th on The Guardians 100 Best Novels of the 21st century, it was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for literature, and the James Tait Black Memorial Award, the Believer Award, and it was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Cormac McCarthy personally approved the making of this book before his death, and the adaptation bears the approval of the McCarthy estate.
