He unforgettably registers the simple beauties of life -- the color of peaches, believing in the goodness of another person -- by immersing us in a world so bleak that the appearance of these things seems miraculous. (And they are, but we get numb.)

Exactly!

It's a reminder that our existence is a beautiful mystery.

There is little I would love more than to spend an evening with Mc, inquire about the journey that led him from Orchard Keeper to Blood Meridian to The Road.

I shouldn't be commenting because I'm leaving, but I think The Road goes one step further. Yes, it reminds us that life is precious and that there is much to live for, but it left me wondering what was beyond the horizon, and it didn't leave me with much hope.

The Road was one of the most depressing novels I've ever read.

The Road was about what there is to live for.
