I’ve never read this book, nor have I had the chance to watch the movie starring Viggo Mortensen. What I do know about it is that it is set in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by an unspecified cataclysm that has ended civilization. The story focuses on the journey of a father and his young son over a period of several months. The novel was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2006. Friends have told me it’s both harrowing and bleak. I love heartbreaking stories so this is on my list of books to read. It should be on yours as well.
