Josh Levin is an aspiring screenwriter teaching ESL classes in Chicago. His laptop is full ofideas, but the only one to really take root is Zombie Wars. When Josh comes home to discover his landlord, an unhinged army vet, rifling through his dirty laundry, he decides to move in with his girlfriend, Kimmy. It\'s domestic bliss for a moment, but Josh becomes entangled with a student, a Bosnian woman named Ana, whose husband is jealous and violent. Disaster ensues, and as Josh\'s choices move from silly to profoundly absurd, Aleksandar Hemon\'s The Making of Zombie Wars takes on real consequence.
Rezension:
Dreadfully, wrigglingly, antisocially funny . . . Hemon\'s work often crackles with humour, but it\'s never been this uproarious. Spectator
