McCarthy on the road for The Road
- Share
Unrelated to the soon to be judged bad sex in fiction awards (litworld’s finest annual moment outside the Man Booker) is the looming release of the movie version of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. What a harrowing, yet unstoppable book that was. Grimly unrelieved. I can’t decide yet whether to take my mind’s eye view on and see the film … probably will. Meantime the pre-release road show has dragged McCarthy out blinking into the light.
This interview/encounter from the Wall Street Journal is superb.

You’re right Jonathan. It’s a cracking good interview and I’m now (sort of) looking forward to the movie.
Hard to imagine it will reach the heights of the book. But even if it’s only half as good, that’ll be better than most of the dross coming out of the film factories.
BTW. Totally OT, but good luck with the ABC online gig.
We’ll miss you at Crikey, but it will be exciting to see what changes you can bring to Aunty.
Thanks for the kind thoughts. Not OT at all! Well a bit. But fair enough.
Dear Frog: thanks and good luck.
