I had seen the movie with Viggo Mortensen, read the comic, but still hadnt'n read the original. I've just finished it.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is quite a bleak story.The original prose was IMHO the best way to experience it, but as non-native English also a bit hard to grasp sometimes. It's only ~110 pages, but so dense & bleak I had to take breaks. It's a re-reader & recommended, but not for the faint of heart.

Today in Labor and Writing History July 10, 1925: The Scopes "Monkey Trial" Trial began in Dayton, Tennessee. John T. Scopes was a high school science teacher accused of violating the Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote about it in their play “Inherit the Wind” (1955). However, they said that their play was a response to the McCarthy anticommunist witch hunt and a statement in support of free speech. Ronald Kidd's 2006 novel, “Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial,” was also based on the Scopes Trial. Scopes was defended by labor Clarence Darrow, who had defended Eugene Debs, during the Pullman strike (1893); and Big Bill Haywood against false murder charges (1905); and the McNamara brothers for the false charges in the L.A. Times bombing (1910).

I’ve been watching ‘Fellow Travellers’ on Paramount+.
Fictional story, but more than a few grains of truth in it.
Roy Cohn - sleazeball sidekick to McCarthy and sleazeball mentor to Agent Orange - plays an oversized role in the series.
And you realize you find a direct line between the 50s and now - Donna has learned well.
