Sisyphean Horror and Human Frailty; A Review of The Long Walk
Some pieces of media age like milk, there's no denying that; there's a reason why we have the phrase 'of its time' on hand. I can't say I feel that way about The Long Walk. Some argue it as an anti-war stort and given when the first draft was written and the overtly militaristic tones I can get that (if you squint), but over all of that it seems to me to be more of an anti-military industrial complex book. Not a cry against war itself, but a clean, targeted shot at the people who sent young men into a meat grinder seemingly without reason to many people.
