A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two
types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living
dead. After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed
in Chinatown's Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island
south of Canal Street--aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one
of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing
lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. "Zone One" unfolds
over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane
mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress
Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a
fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong...
At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a
contemporary master, "Zone One" is a dazzling portrait of modern
civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory.
