Lightly Used Softcover Edition published by Vintage Books, N.Y., 2006, 287 pages in Very Good Condition. Cover shows only light shelf-wear mainly along the edges, there is a small glue-mark on the right-hand corner from a store sticker. Text is clean and unmarked, there is a turned-down corner on page 271. Spine is firm. A very nice, clean copy. A profoundly moving story of a harrowing journey of a father and his son across a burned-out, ravaged America. A desloute, ash-encrusted landscape where the cold wind could crack stone, where the sky is dark, and snow falls everywhere. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road. "Vivid, eloquent...consistently brilliant in its imagining of the posthuman condition of nature and civilization in a future America." - New York Times Book Review.
