The ZeroIndent Review

They come at night: every night. They call your name in the dark. They fling themselves at the walls and doors and roof. They will get in, eventually. How long can you last?

This week the gang talks Richard Matheson's 1954 apocalpyse horror, I Am Legend to finally answer the question: what is a zombie?

00:00:00 - Intro

Feudal Japan, Saxony England and the end of the world loom over your choices. All is gone to ash and sulfur, but you're still here, left with a choice. To take up the mantle of the adventurer, or to be confined to your stead forever?

This week Pat's on leave so David and J.M. read the original *original* apocalypse novel by Dick Jefferies.

The end of the world occurs at beach in Port Phillip Bay of all places, and you sit in your big car and stare at the grey counterspectacle, hoping in the final instance to see some aspect of how the world came to be.

This week we cover the closing chapters, and closing days, of Neil Shute's apocalypse novel On The Beach.

00:00:00 - Book complications

When it all comes down we must endure the worst type of person. A vapid, shallow, military man.

This week we discuss Neil Shute's On The Beach and how it relates to gender politics and the economics of the time.

00:00:00 - Neil Shute's opus

Melbourne, Australia: nuclear winter approaches as the equatorial winds shift each year. You have twelve months left on the outside, more likely eight, and six on the inside. What will you do with the time you have left?

This week we discuss the introductory section of Neil Shute's confronting apocalypse novel set in Patrick and David's backyard.

00:00:00 - High level thoughts

The book itself you recall - the sentiment, the heft of it. And if you really concentrate, you can remember some of the words, but never complete sections. You wonder idly if there's a copy left in the wold now that it has emptied. You imagine probably in the basement of a church or tucked into the pocket behind a seat in an abandoned car.

This week we talk through Denzel Washington's action flick, The Book of Eli

00:00:00 - It begins!

Apocalypse and endings. Literature. Meaning. It all blows away on the sands of a dead shore. A counterspectacle of what was, alighting some part of how it came to be, yes, and some part of what it could have been. We are ruinous creatures, aren't we?

This week: the end of Cormac McCarthy's legendary novel The Road and it's bleak. Shocker.

00:00:00 - Intro

Rain spoils against your back. You can feel the damp on your neck and inside your rotting shoes. The ropes binding your pack chafe, and you wonder, idly, if you were always meant for this. You think perhaps you were. That in some other heaven where things did not go wrong that you were the omen that brought everything down.

Freezing to death. A reprieve in a mysterious bunker. The team continues through the heart of McCarthy's The Road.

00:00:00 - it begins!

Fall literature spoils on the bloated wooden boards. You recognise the shape of names--fiction you once knew and loved--now reduced to damp, cloggy promises that threaten your balance. The world has emptied out, yet these recollections stick to the sky, unbidden.

This week the gang cracks into Cormac McCarthy's seminal classic, The Road (2006) and try to unpick the behemoth that is the novel.
