    <body><![CDATA[This was a gift last Christmas, and I read it just in time for Halloween. I was really impressed with this so-called oral history of the zombie war: it's immersive and touching, embracing the &quot;human factor&quot; along an oft-traversed horror terrain. Like all good zombie films, it embraces the flexibility of the living dead to encompass multiple metaphors. The most predominate metaphor in World War Z is the pervasive xenophobia and bureaucracy of the day that keeps us from any sort of true progress. Ulysses it is not, but it is certainly a cut above typical horror fare. ]]></body>
