The Double Death of Humanity in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road by Stephen Joyce

“…This article situates Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (2006) within the tragic frame of post-apocalyptic narratives as they began to develop in the USA in response to the Bush administration’s messianic belief in 9/11 as a form of apocalyptic moment.
