Deconstructing the Road – Part 5

June 18, 2014

You thought I forgot about this series, didn’t ya? Ha! You’re not that lucky… For those of you dropping in, this is the 5th part of my “deconstruction” review of The Road by Cormac McCarthy. You can get caught up on my thoughts with part one, two, three, and four. The Story When last we … More Deconstructing the Road – Part 5

Deconstructing The Road – Part 4

March 20, 2014

When we last left our plodding hero and traumatized boy, the two were wandering south across an American landscape. Exactly where is not that important in the story, but I suspect it is somewhere in the mid-west. Regardless, up until this section I’m about to dissect, the two have been alone. The only other person … More Deconstructing The Road – Part 4

Deconstructing The Road – Section 1

February 12, 2014

Hello Readers/Writers, This is the first post of a series in which I will make my feeble attempt to dissect each section of The Road by Carmac McCarthy. I will be concentrating on the dialogue, but will comment on other bits, too (like pacing, tension, story development, etc).

Deconstructing The Road

January 22, 2014

At the moment, I am taking a class on dialogue in fiction with the online Odyssey workshop (this one). Oh my goodness, just when I thought I knew what all I wasn’t doing right! This class is showing me a whole other world to writing, one I pretty much knew nothing about. (sad sigh) In … More Deconstructing The Road
