Young American men went to Vietnam

Written in 2006, it is an post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father and his young son over a period of several months. They cross a landscape blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed all civilization and almost all life on earth. The inspiration for the road came to him when he and his eight year old son John went to El Paso, Texas they stayed at an old hotel. Around two or three in the morning John was asleep in the hotel, Cormac wasn’t sleeping so he stood and stared out the window at this town. “Nothing was moving but I could hear the trains going through and that very lonesome sound.” “I just had this image of what the town might look like in fifty or a hundred years...
