About this ebook
A seriously funny roller-coaster ride of sex, violence, and the absurd trials of an aspiring screenwriter.
Josh Levin, an ESL teacher in Chicago, dreams of making it big as a screenwriter. His laptop overflows with wild ideas like Love Trek, a sci-fi adventure involving alien cabbies, and The Righteous Love, a riotous Holocaust comedy. But it's his zombie script that really comes to life when his unhinged landlord starts rifling through his dirty laundry.
Fleeing to the comfort of his girlfriend Kimmy's arms, Josh soon finds himself entangled with Ana, a Bosnian student with a jealous, violent husband. As Josh's choices spiral from silly to profoundly absurd, The Making of Zombie Wars takes on real consequence in this seriously, seriously funny novel from acclaimed American author Aleksandar Hemon.
A must-read for fans of literary fiction, humor, and contemporary literature, this book is a wild ride through the mind of a writer caught between reality and the zombies in his head.
