In his novel The Road, McCarthy tells the story of a man and his son slogging across the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the United States. In this ashen wasteland, morality is almost completely absent, with the man and the boy being some of the only characters the reader sees who have even an ounce of goodness within them.
