“This paradox, like a brutal syllogism, leads McCarthy, almost one sense in spite of himself, to conclude The Road on a note of possible redemption that while moving and reassuring is prepared for neither by one;'s reading of his prior work nor, perhaps, by the novel itself. In order to destroy the world, it becomes necessary to save it.”
