The Long Road is a post-apocalyptic novel by Cormac McCarthy,a famous contemporary American novelist,which won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Quill Prize.By depicting an apocalyptic scene of the collapse of human civilization and the ravages of death,McCarthy creates a huge space for the characters to die,and the imagery of corpses,rain,snow,and dust provides richer cultural symbols for the writing of death.McCarthy continued his usual writing style,depicting cruel scenes such as violence and hunting in"The Long Road".Death is the ultimate form of expression of the individual,intimately linked and inseparable from life.Through the writing of death,McCarthy reveals to readers the unknown danger and the ugliness of human nature,and also reflects his care for life and exploration of human nature.
