Zone One by Colson Whitehead.. A zombie novel with real smarts, to paraphrase one review. Look, you know you want the gore. Just go there. Whitehead is a brilliant author, besides.

Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor

"No novelist writing today is more engaging and entertaining when it comes to questions of race, class, and commercial culture than Colson Whitehead."

USA Today

"Whitehead is making a strong case for a new name of his own: that of the best of the new generation of American novelists."

The Boston Globe
