In “Twenty-Three Snapshots of San
Francisco,” Seth
Lindberg reveals
the fall of San Francisco through twenty-three snapshots, with a narrator
describing what is happening in each. In the gaps between the photos, the
reader imagines screams and terrors more horrific than any amount of detail the
author could have given us. It has a unique way of
representing the ‘zombie’ catastrophe. The narrator takes a lot of pictures of
his friends, for example there is a picture of Bradley’s face before he’s
killed and another picture of the man who developed his photos. These pictures
represent his memories. The narrator is not as afraid to see some of the scary
memories such as the death of his friend and this is unusual and
scary to the viewer . We might ask ourselves why his
reaction is not as strong as we would like it to be.
