The Sunset Limited A Novel in Dramatic Form

<b>From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of <i>The Road—</i>a startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made.<br><br></b>In that small apartment, “Black” and “White,” as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history, mining the origins of two fundamentally opposing world views. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men–though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is desperate to deny it.<br><br>Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life.<br><br>Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, <i>The Sunset Limited</i> is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deceptively intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time.<br><br><b>Look for Cormac McCarthy's new novel, <i>The Passenger, </i>coming October '22.<br> </b>
