À propos de cet audio

A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made.

In that small apartment, Black and White, as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history, mining the origins of two fundamentally opposing world views. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men, though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is desperate to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life.

Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deceptively intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A brilliantly articulated piece, penned by a wildly acclaimed fiction writer. Nothing short of dazzling. So astonishingly effecting, so powerful, so stimulating!” ( Chicago Tribune)

Stunning. Read this on a whim, not usually into plays, but this felt very unique.

Very spare stage direction, as the two characters questionsed the human condition with intelligence, insight, and compassion. The dialogue on the questions of God and religion were unexpected.

Recommend this read.

Trigger warning: one character has attempted suicide.

Dark, Emotional, Philosophical - unique novel

One of McCarthy's most powerful works, impeccably performed and presented. Both readers did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life. I loved every second of it.
