Tomorrow comes and goes…

Words by Spook Intern Pouline Topfer

Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Road was published in 2006 has been taken from text to screen by Australian director John Hillcoat. The film is the tale  of a journey taken by a father and his son towards the sea, crossing a destroyed landscape; en-counting death, desperation and a strong will to survive. 

What the Guardian said about the book.

“A few weeks ago I read what I believe is the most important environmental book ever written. It is not Silent Spring, Small Is Beautiful or even Walden. It contains no graphs, no tables, no facts, figures, warnings, predictions or even arguments. Nor does it carry a single dreary sentence, which, sadly, distinguishes it from most environmental literature. It is a novel, first published a year ago, and it will change the way you see the world” Monbiot for the Guardian.
