Jul 13: Confab #57

We've wanted to try another book club show for quite some time.  The problem is that we chose a book which contains cannibalism, hopelessness, and little -- if any -- moral redemption.  Cormac McCarthy's, The Road, isn't your standard dystopian tale.  It isn't intended to serve as a beacon for a civilization whose extrapolated path leads to ruin.  No.  Instead, it drags you into an alley, beats and rapes you (mentally), and leaves you for dead.  Is there anything good that can be said about the trials a father and son face in McCarthy's yarn?  You'll have to listen to the show.

This show was recorded during the July 10, 2008 Confab.

Our guests:
