A very beautifully written book about, well, a lot of things. A post-apocalyptic survival plot is woven with the life of a famous actor who dies hours before the virus outbreak that ends the world. We see the post-apocalypse through the eyes of people who were in his life, from his best friend to his son to a child actress he talks to shortly before he dies.
Everyone involved is prone to philosophical ramblings, so the book pretty explicitly talks about fame, civilisation, friendship, love, etc. I only give 3.5 stars because the A-Plot, about a travelling orchestra/theatre that gets chased down by a cult, is kind of lame, especially when put next to the rest of this book, which is weird in a good way.
