On the Lost Highway

摘要

For a more than decent summary of the plot of Cormac McCarthy's latest novel, "The Road," consult the Library of Congress boilerplate that follows the book's title page: "1. Fathers and sons—Fiction. 2. Voyages and travels—United States-Fiction. 3. Regression (Civilization)—Fiction. 4. Survival skills—Fiction." For that matter, it's not a bad imitation of the novel's style.
