So when I read this I was hearing my man Sam Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones. It for me this enhanced it. Either is enjoyable but I re commend both.The story works fantastically and it is amazing in its simplicity. It’s the type of story that works both as art and entertainment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sartre’s “No Exit” meets Thorton Wilder’s “Our Town” *by D***J on April 23, 2025* “White: But you think I’m full of s---.Black: I dont think that. Oh I dont doubt but what it’s possible to die from bein full of s---. But I dont think that’s what we lookin at here.White: What do you think we’re looking at?Black: I dont know. You got me on unfamiliar ground.” (p117, with mild editing)The cover describes this work as “a novel in dramatic form”. That’s accurate. It’s a play in every way that matters – one act, two characters (“Black” and “White”), dialog, stage direction, and a plot that’s limited to a conversation between the two actors. Since this is essentially a minimalist one-act play, it’s very short – short enough that it barely qualifies as a novelette.The play begins just after Black has prevented White from committing suicide. Black is trying to talk White down from the figurative ledge and give White reason to live. The dialog (the plot!) is an intimate, high-stakes, earthy exploration of the meaning of life. It’s all quite moving and interesting. There are deliberate tropes and stereotypes (race, class, and others), along with equally deliberate reversals of the stereotypes. It felt to me like a cross between Wilder’s “Our Town” and Sartre’s “No Exit”.I can’t say I came away with any new philosophical insights, but I don’t think that’s what McCarthy intended. Instead, I suspect the author wants us to reflect on the nature of relationships – what we mean to each other, how we depend on each other, and what we owe each other. Does Black succeed in giving hope to White? I’ll leave that for you to discover, but I feel certain that McCarthy also wants us to ponder the question of what success actually means. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ pseudoprofundity? *by J***T on February 3, 2008* it's amazing that a person would complain about mccarthy's work written in dramatic form as the sunset limited is. to even say that the mind conjures imagery of a third person who is dawkins, sitting at the table, "...who would mop the floor with these two sorry saps," is completely missing the point as the reviewer who gave this play 2 stars did. two sorry saps? unfortunately the way most of us conduct our lives is based on the way that these two people are represented, i.e. good vs. bad, right-wrong, religious vs. agnostic, black and white, delusion vs. reality, hope vs. despair. we all live with a sense duality. to bring up dawkins book, the god delusion, is like arguing the bible. what's right and what's wrong? what is at the heart of mccarthy's storys and what makes him an artist is that he understands both but doesn't let his characters commit to one or the other. he intertwines good and bad and leaves it gray. his storys are of morality but he never sells bad or good he only presents things as they are. he has nothing to hide and is not selling his ideas politically, religiously, artistically, moralistically or falsely. because of these thing i feel he is always and will continue to be a breath of fresh air in these often sad and confusing times. buy this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/112030417-the-sunset-limited-publisher-vintage-later-printing-edition-unknown-binding](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/112030417-the-sunset-limited-publisher-vintage-later-printing-edition-unknown-binding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
