Like all of Heller's work, this one is beautifully written and takes you deep inside of the character. Post-apocalyptic isn't really my favorite genre, but it's balanced by the lush descriptions of nature.
The dog dies. While it makes sense in the story and is not a violent death, you might want to be prepared for the grieving.
