As a small boy, Gene Perticone dreamed of having his own motorcycle. He knew it would be a means by which he could enjoy traveling by himself to the places he longed to explore, at first close to home and then in the wider world around him. From his first dilapidated mootorcycle obtaained during his tgeens to the sleek and efficient cruisers of adulthood,he has used the "mechanical ponies" for recreation, relief from monotony and stress, and simple and direct enjoyment that could be available at the twist of a throttle. Just Two for the Road is about a child and then a man who learns to broaden his appreciation of the world by moving through it physically and mentally in a way that other forms of locomotion could never match.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
