I surprised myself a bit that I even wanted to read a book about the aftermath of a pandemic, (albeit a very rapid, destructive, and medically implausible zombie virus) it seems I was ready. Not sure exactly what it was about the blurb for this one that hooked me in, but I’m glad it did. I really enjoyed the quality of the writing and will definitely read more by Whitehead as a result. This one’s a keeper!
