Abrams & Chronicle The Road

The first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning post-apocalyptic classic, The Road, is approved and authorized by McCarthy and illustrated by acclaimed cartoonist Manu Larcenet. The story follows a nameless father and son trying to survive with their humanity intact in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where Earth's natural resources have been diminished, and some survivors resort to raising others for meat. The Road is one of Cormac McCarthy's bleakest and most prescient novels. Dedicated to his son, John Francis McCarthy, it is one of McCarthy's most personal works. Ranked 17th on The Guardian's 100 Best Novels of the 21st century, it received the Pulitzer Prize for literature, the James Tait Black Memorial Award, the Believer Award, and was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. This first official graphic novel adaptation is illustrated by acclaimed French cartoonist Manu Larcenet, who transforms McCarthy's spare and brutal prose into stark ink drawings that add an additional layer to this haunting tale of family love and human perseverance. Cormac McCarthy personally approved the making of this book before his death, and the adaptation bears the approval of the McCarthy estate.
