a novel in dramatic form
Book • 2006
The Sunset Limited is a dramatic work by Cormac McCarthy that follows a chance encounter between two strangers, Black and White, on a New York subway platform.

After Black saves White from a suicide attempt, they engage in a profound conversation about faith, existence, and the human condition in Black's Harlem apartment.

The narrative delves into their contrasting worldviews, with Black advocating for the transformative power of faith and White questioning its relevance in a seemingly meaningless world.
