This Is the Way the World Ends
This Is the Way the World Ends | James Morrow
1 post | 3 read | 4 to read
The Gulliver s Travels of the nuclear age, the Alice in Wonderland of the arms race, this mordantly funny and visionary tale of the apocalypse was a Nebula finalist. The trouble starts when George Paxton ingenuously signs an admission of complicity in starting World War III. The only book in the last ten years that I ve read twice...a remarkable achievement (Arthur C. Clarke)."

This is the bloodiest, saddest, most absurd, most haunting, and most stunning satire it's ever been my privilege to read. It's Lewis Carroll meets St. John the Divine; it's Monty Python performing Hamlet; it's how Ansel Adams would have shot the nuclear winter: horror, loss, laughter and beauty in perfect juxtaposition.

In 2017, we're certain of our own extinction, again. Morrow is more relevant than ever.
