During the interview, Cormac McCarthy reveals insight into his writing process, the genesis for The Road, and his take on notoriety, women and life's necessities.
Published in 2006, Cormac McCarthy's The Road is a post-apocalyptic American tale of survival and unfailing hope as a man and his son journey through the ruins of utter devastation. Both gripping and inspiring, The Road explores the severe destructiveness, desperate tenacity and tremendous tenderness capable within human civilization. In April 2007, Cormac McCarthy won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for The Road.
