“Mark Spitz” is the nickname of the protagonist, a civilian zombie “sweeper” who works for the military at Fort Wonton in Chinatown, helping to clear out “skels” (short for skeletons, which is what they call the walking dead) in an increasingly widened area. Zone One is a walled-off portion of New York City that has been swept free of post-apocalyptic plague-infected flesh-eaters, and which serves as a base for the eventual restoration of Manhattan. However, when Glen Duncan, author of The Last Werewolf, wrote in “The New York Times Book Review” that this book was worth reading, I gave in to the pressure and let the zombies over the wall.
Zombies have massed behind the last remaining barrier I erected of “subjects about which I do not want to read.” The other barriers have toppled over recent years, largely because of the influence of bloggers, but I have, for the most part, held out against zombies.
