Na vyprahnutú zem sa zniesla ďalšia vrstva prachu a popola. Kýpte stromov sa striedajú s ruinami civilizácie. Mŕtvi nemo svedčia o bolesti a bezmocnosti, poslední živí sa nezastavia pred ničím, ani pred kanibalizmom. Sivé nebo so sivým slnkom čoraz častejšie prekrýva čierny studený dážď. Jediná možnosť uniknúť smrti je cesta – na juh. Desivá realita postapokalyptického románu Cormaca McCarthyho o putovaní otca a syna krajinou spustošenou kataklizmou. McCarthy s majstrovskou jednoduchosťou predstavuje svet, v ktorom prestali platiť hodnoty civilizácie a cenu má len to, čo pomôže prežiť ďalší deň. Uprostred nepriateľskej krajiny sa rozvíja nádherný ľudský cit, krehké, a pritom pevné puto medzi otcom a synom. Románový príbeh o láske, obetavosti a nádeji, ktorý stvorili nemilosrdne drsné podmienky, získal roku 2007 Pulitzerovou cenu.

New York Times Notable Book of the Year P ublishers Weekly Best Book of 1997 With an Introduction by Robert Giroux, The Complete Stories of Bernard Malamud is "an essential American book," Richard Stern declared in the Chicago Tribune when the collection was published in hardcover. His praise was echoed by other reviewers and by readers, who embraced the book as they might a displaced person in one of Malamud's stories, now returned to us, complete and fulfilled and recognized at last. The volume gathers together fifty-five stories, from "Armistice" (1940) to "Alma Redeemed" (1984), and including the immortal stories from The Magic Barrel and the vivid depictions of the unforgettable Fidelman. It is a varied and generous collection of great examples of the modern short story, which Malamud perfected, and an ideal introduction to the work of this great American writer.
