Abstract: Although it might not be immediately evident, Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel, The Road, is a work of translation. By this I am not suggesting that there is a hitherto unacknowledged original version of the book in another language. Rather, I would like to reclaim the primary sense of translation and offer it as a description of The Road as a work of “transference; removal or conveyance from one person, place, or condition to another” (“Translation,” def. I.1.a)—a definition of translation now so peculiarly remote as to appear almost catachrestic.
