[Bananafish] McCarthy's Road

[Yocum, Daniel R Civ 21 CES/CEOE]

McCarthy says that it was his youngest son who inspired the story.  I
have read similar shorts in the past but this one captures the bleakness
like none of the others.  This is the extreme opposite to the Lewis's
view of the world (the living, vibrant numinous environment and the
dead, albatross around your neck - rotting carcass environment), they
both work on ya though.
