Product Details

Praise

“Sweeping. . . . Lynskey’s astute analysis excels at teasing out the existential concerns that have animate artists over the course of millennia. Readers won’t want this to end.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Clever and voluminous. . . . So engagingly plotted and written that it’s a pleasure to bask in its constant stream of remarkable tidbits and illuminating insights.”
The Guardian (UK)
 
“A major piece of work, [a] heavyweight yet fleet-of-foot look at humankind’s fixation on the end of days, told through literature, popular art, science and more, as compelling as it is authoritative.”
The Telegraph (UK)
 
“A fascinating guide. . . . Full of less-known cultural gems.”
New Scientist (UK)
 
“Lynskey has a journalist’s eye for a great story and a killer quotation. . . . He is ridiculously well informed.”
Literary Review (UK)
 
Everything Must Go will make you happy to be alive and reading. . . . Brilliant.”
The Spectator (UK)

“For a book drenched in destruction, Everything Must Go is not depressing, and often wryly funny. It is incredibly deeply researched, fluently written, moving deftly between close-up detail and broad-bush analysis.”
The Arts Desk (UK)

“So enjoyable, that I didn’t want it to end—the world, or the book.”
—Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived

“I was blown away by this book. The staggering range of references, the razor-sharp analysis, the wisdom, left me gasping out loud at times. Lynskey also somehow manages to make a book about the end of the world feel . . . hopeful. One of the best non-fiction writers around.”
—Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireworld

“Impossibly epic, brain-expanding, life-affirming and profound. You’ll never see humanity the same way again.”
—Ian Dunt, author of How Westminster Works
