McCarthy wins award for The Road

BBC News Article



"Pulitzer Prize-winning US author Cormac McCarthy has won the UK's oldest literary award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.

The Road, McCarthy's tale of a father and son in a post-apocalyptic America, was named the best novel of the year"

This is a great book, especially for those post-apocalyptic fans out there!

edited to say here is an article that tells of other nominees

Hey, nice new look!

I'm glad for McCarthy that he won this prize, even though The Road isn't my favorite book of the year, or really in my top five.

I've got this on my wish list at Paperback Swap and the list is huge, so I guess it will be a while. :)
