<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>McCarthy's new play packs all the wallop of his gut-wrenching fiction. "The Sunset Limited," though, is not about blood and guts but about the battle for the human soul.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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. <p/>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. <p/>Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A brilliantly articulated piece, penned by a wildly acclaimed fiction writer. Nothing short of dazzling. So astonishingly effecting, so powerful, so stimulating!" -<i>Chicago Tribune</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Cormac McCarthy is the author of nine novels, among other literary works. His many honors include the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
