What is Zone One about?

Amazon.com Review Guest Reviewer: Justin Cronin on Zone One by Colson Whitehead The phrase “the thinking person’s [something]” may be terminally overused, but surely that’s what Colon Whitehead has accomplished in Zone One --a savvy zombie classic, the best addition to the genre since George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead . In a nutshell: Zone One is a story of three days in the life of one Mark Spitz and his squad of three ‘sweepers’ moving through the eponymous Zone One of lower Manhattan, a walled-off enclave scheduled for resettlement in the aftermath of a zombie plague. The great masses of the undead, known as ‘skels’ for their skeleton-like appearance, have been violently dispatched by a Marine detachment. It falls to Spitz and his fellows to take care of the handful that remain, as well as a second-tier of the infected known as ‘stragglers’: zombies who have bypassed the cannibalistic urges of their more lethal fellows in favor of a hollow-eyed, eerily nostalgic repetition of some mundane act. Surfing a vanished web. Switching the channels of a dead remote. Filling helium balloons in a ransacked party supply store. Running a photocopy machine, presumably for all eternity.
