Brett is working as an English teacher in Vanuatu when the news comes of the plauge in America. His Bislama isn’t so good, but the word is that in America, people are eating one another.
“Passage” by Lavie Tidhar is a slice of life, with a (distant, unseen) zombie plague. At a little over a thousand words, there’s not much time for plot or development–we just see a series of glimpses into Brett’s life as he deals with his changing situation.
It’s a little unsatisfying, but the message is clear: even with a zombie apocalypse in America, life goes on. After all, what can you do?
It took me almost a year to the day to finish this book. Which I suppose shouldn't be surprising given that it's a year's worth of stories, but wow...
Honestly, I don't feel able to properly review this book because it's so big and it took me so long to finish. If you like the stories from though, you'll like this collection -- I mean, obviously, right? Since DSF is free to read online maybe give it a shot and if you like it consider picking up the book. If nothing else it will keep you busy for a while ;)
