Granddad, Tell How Capitalism Committed Suicide: Mark Gilbert

Posted by Charlie Kilo on July 12th, 2008

If you’ve read “The Road” you’ll love this. Heck if you haven’t read “The Road” you’ll still think this article is brilliant:

“So when a film came out called `The Road’ about a post- apocalyptic world, people were already scared and angry. They started to form cults worshipping the author of the tale, a reclusive writer called Cormac McCarthy who never gave interviews and never did publicity, and had won a Pulitzer Prize in 2007. They decided he was some sort of prophet of doom.”

By the flickering firelight, Granddad could see Joel’s eyelids beginning to droop.

“That’s enough storytelling for one night, Master Bernanke. Go and make yourself warm under the blankets. We’ll be safe in this cave until morning, then we’ll press on toward the coast.”
