It reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not that they're similar in any conceivable way, but at the end you just sit for a minute and think, "Hm. Well."
It's got a sort of dreamy feel to it - no exclamation points, no apostrophes, no quotation marks, no chapter divisions. Which fits. It's about a man and his son in a post-apocalyptic world, trying to make it to the coast without getting killed (and/or eaten) by other survivors. There's no real sense of time.
At first I didn't really get why my mom compared it to The Stranger, but I do feel the same way I felt after reading that book. "It doesn't really matter though.. because... why should anything matter?"
Very grim. Didn't really care for the ending though; I think the author could have challenged himself a bit more.
