Max Brooks, son of Mel Brooks, and author of “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War” and “The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead”, is certainly getting around. In one day we see him in the news at both Salt Lake City Utah, and Hartford Connecticut. Brooks is touring in support of the book, which is a best-seller.

There’s also news of Brad Pitt’s production company winning the rights to World War Z. I’ll be curious to see how a movie adaptation of the book works. It seems unlikely to be a straightforward adaptation; the narrator is the only character present for more than ten pages.
