The Road (Oprah’s Book Club)

Oprah Winfrey chose on Wednesday to The Road, Cormac McCarthy, as his next selection for her reading club, a gesture intended to initiate an explosion in sales of the dark history of American writer on a journey posapocalíptico of father and son.

Winfrey described the book as “unforgettable and inspiring”, with a lasting effect on the reader. “It’s a speed reading and a trip worth making,” he said. For several years, Winfrey has been selecting books for her worldwide television audience read. The driver said he was “considered one of the finest authors of our time”.

McCarthy, 73 years, is the author of 10 novels, one published screenplay and a play. His works include Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985) and All the Pretty Horses (1992).
“Probably should not be talking about this, you should be doing,” he told the author of 73 years Winfrey in a rare televised interview on Tuesday in the program “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.

Time the press, McCarthy said that he has nothing against the media but not cree should be talking about what he does, a trait that Winfrey illustrated with a story about how the writer, when it had no money years ago , Refused to participate in a forum despite the fact that he offered $ 2,000.

“You work your side of the sidewalk, which I will work my own,” he said in an interview recorded in the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico.

The conversation took place after Winfrey announced in March that would include McCarthy’s book “The Road” in his club readers.

The agenda of Tuesday, Winfrey noted that her most recent addition would be “Middlesex”, a Pulitzer Prize winning novel of Jeffrey Eugenides. Published in 2002, the book is an epic about a Greek-American hermaphrodite that is, someone born with both male sexual organs with the feminine.

“I promise that captures from the first sentence,” he said.

During Winfrey’s interview with McCarthy, the author pointed out that though generally not know where to draw the ideas for your books, you can trace “The Road” to a trip he made with his son to El Paso, Texas, makes about four years.

There, while looking through the window of a hotel in the middle of the night, began to imagine how El Paso would be in 50 or 100 years.

“We just had an image of these fires in the hills … and I thought a lot in my young child,” he said. He wrote some ideas and not think about it again until several years later when, being in Ireland, began writing his book.
