J. Mark Bertrand gives this bit of advice early in his article on post-apocalyptic literature: “He who stockpiles the ammunition can help himself to the rest of the stockpiles.” He says he isn’t worried about a zombie uprising, which of course is ludicrous. They are coming. Everyone knows it. And here Mr. Bertrand is reading a book called Far North. It’s like whistling through a graveyard.
I’ve just had “Far North” delivered myself, but haven’t had a chance to start reading it yet.
And I think I would enjoy “The Chrysalids,” too, so I’ve just ordered that. But I like best the advice about ammunition.
