This is an immersive, innovative, compelling story. There's elements of Cormac McCarthy's mythic plains here, but not quite so nightmarish. More just flat and bleak.

The protagonist spends the majority of the story keeping himself as far as possible from civilization, but when he inevitably ends up back in touch with a human being, he ends up re-encountering a magnified version of his brutal self, whereupon he flings himself back into the void of the wilderness again.

This book is for any seeker of an identity that no longer exists.
