The third chapter works through an extended reading of Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel The Road. It explores the way that post apocalyptic narratives engender a split figuration of the salvific child against the uncannily impersonal Earth--or what is called, alongside Luce Irigaray, the revelation of the chora behind the veil of the oikos.
