WILD RELEASE NOTES:

A compelling, almost mesmerising, read, this book has superb ambience. A father and son trek, more or less silently, across America, an America transformed into some post-apocalypse wasteland. There is menace all around, at least as the father perceives it - a sense of constant threat from the winter closing in, from their fellow survivors - that keeps the pair taut and constantly on the move. The all-pervasive ash and freezing, dirty fog (perhaps this is a nuclear winter ?) get under your skin as reader within a few pages, and stay there: I felt physically dirty and cold when I'd turned the last page. This is a vivid study of the strength - and perhaps the warpedness, given the plot twist in the final few pages - of familial bonds that endure when all else has failed. Riveting.

this is the story of a father and son walking alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. It has been hailed as 'the first great masterpiece of the globally warmed generation.
