A Modest Apocalypse: Exploring the Father-Son Dynamic in The Road

Although I don’t usually pay much attention to reviews, I skimmed a few because of the book’s popularity and a recommendation from someone I know. From what I gathered, it seemed to promise an apocalyptic tale—one I expected to be quite dark. To my surprise, it wasn’t as grim as I anticipated. Instead, it’s a story centered around a father and son navigating a world where personal survival is the sole priority.
