Max Brooks en interview

[jerome]

Une interview de Max Brooks est disponible ici en anglais. L'auteur de WWZ parle npotamment du Guide de Survie en Territoire Zombie.

Your first book was "The Zombie Survival Guide," and you've said that one of the inspirations for it was the Y2K scare. Can you describe the thought process that took you from a possible worldwide computer glitch to a guide to the walking dead?

It was the late 1990's, and Y2K anxiety was everywhere. All these survival guides were hitting the bookshelves and they were getting crazier and crazier. I'd been thinking about what I would do in a zombie outbreak for some time and I figured someone, somewhere, must have published a book on it. Strangely enough, no one had, so I thought I'd do it. Not to be published, of course--I mean, if there wasn't one already out there, it must have been because there was no market for it. So, I thought I'd write a zombie survival guide just for me, and leave it on the shelf where it belonged.
