The Road: epic, science-fiction, gothic or horror story?

This essay by Michael Chabon, originally from the NYT Book Review, decides it's horror, but seeing how Chabon reached that conclusion is an enjoyable read.

I love Chabon---anyone else?

Just a reminder---and thanks to you already doing so---to close your posts with your name, since those of us reading in our email box can't see who was logged in/who wrote it.

Thanks, Deirdre

Netflix has The Road the movie. I haven't watched it yet, but I will try before the meeting. I'll check with Marva with the date and time of the next meeting. Thanks, Cath

Finally here and posting :)

Hi Ladies...I finally have a moment to post! The blog looks great!

I just started reading 'The Road' ... anyone know if it was it made into a movie? If I remember correctly, I started the film and chose to stop watching it because stories like this (disturbing, depressing, etc) stay with me for a long time. We'll see how the book goes. If I can get through it, I know I'll want to talk about it. Hooray for book club :) -----CeCe
