He really describes the making of food and the assembling and disassembling of things into the religious ritual for their survival. Reread it and notice how many times “he knelt” is used in those passages. An astonishing book a masterpiece really. Other dystopian fiction seems silly in comparison

I would not call The Road dystopian. Maybe an apocalypse book.
