It is wonderful and terrible all at the same time.

"He was a long time going to sleep. After a while he turned and looked at the man. His face in the small light streaked with black from the rain like some old-world thespian. Can I ask you something? he said.
Yes. Of course.
Are we going to die?
Sometime. Not now.
And we're still going south.
Yes.
So we'll be warm.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay what?
Nothing. Just okay.
Go to sleep.
Okay.
I'm going to blow out the lamp. Is that okay?
Yes. That's okay.
And then later in the darkness: Can I ask you something?
Yes. Of course you can.
What would you do if I died?
If you died I would want to die too.
So you could be with me?
Yes. So I could be with you.
Okay.

“On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world. Query: How does the never to be differ from what never was?” - Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Mit Cormac McCarthy ist ein großer Autor von uns gegangen.
Der Science-Fiction-Leserschaft ist er vor allem durch "Die Straße" ein Begriff. Ein Roman, den wohl niemand, der ihn gelesen hat, jemals vergisst.

"Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before. Like the onset of some cold glaucoma dimming away the world."

Farewell, #CormacMcCarthy RIP

If you ever forced me to name my favorite book of all time, it would be #BloodMeridian by #CormacMcCarthy. What earthshaking, life-altering dangerous gorgeous bloody big brutal time-echoing soul-haunting piece of work. Forever shook after first reading it. And a close second was #Suttree. A distant third: #theRoad . What a giant we lost today. RIP.

The first time I read #CormacMccarthy #TheRoad was during the height of the pandemic. Very poor life decisions on my part. #RIP

the road is on my top 5 books everyone would be changed by reading
It's the only one I would never recommend rereading
It's the hardest thing I have ever read, but completely unputdownable - and ultimately a story of belief in humanity #TheRoad #CormacMcCarthy

#TheRoad remains by far the most impactful book I’ve ever read, touching on the innermost human themes; love, parenthood, perseverance. Still think about it, often. #CormacMcCarthy shall be missed.
