Colson Whitehead

Colson Whitehead's novel, Zone One (Doubleday, $25.95) is a zombie-horror story, which also serves as a pop-culture, satirical send-up.  Mark Spitz and his squad of three ‘sweepers’ move through Zone One of lower Manhattan, a walled-off enclave scheduled for resettlement in the aftermath of a zombie plague. "A fresh take on survival, grief, 9/11, AIDS . . . and the many other disasters . . . that keep a stranglehold on our fears,” says Publisher Weekly in its starred review.  Whitehead, a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway award and Pulitzer Prize, is the author of the novels Sag Harbor, The Intuitionist,John Henry Days, and Apex Hides the Hurt.
