By total happenstance, I have lately read "The Road", seen I Am
Legend, and read Jeanette Winterson's latest: The Stone Gods. She is
another one who, like McCarthy, isn't a "sci-fi" author, but a writer
who writes beautifully and tells whatever tale needs telling to "make
the point" as an earlier post said. And movies: Children of Men is
absolutely brilliant.
