Show Notes
In this episode, Alexa Robbins dives deep into the 2006 post-apocalyptic novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Joined by Joe Coleman, the pair discuss motifs like The Fire and how they play into the bleak—yet ultimately hopeful—attitude towards morality and human life. Using specific examples from the book, Joe explains how McCarthy refutes the standard nihilism of this genre and what makes The Road such an exciting and compelling read.
