Here is a trailer I made for my friend Alistair McCartney's book THE END OF THE WORLD BOOK.
The End of the World Book is in turn informative, playful, erotic, imaginary, witty, perverse, charming, autobiographical, and full of wonders; the letter K, for example, begins with Kafka and ends with Freddie Krueger. If the world is ending soon, I recommend you read it while theres still time.—Jim Krusoe, author of Iceland and Blood Lake
Beguiling, comical, earnest, and wise beyond its authors years. Crossing sporadic bursts of linear narrative with a detailed taxonomy of altercation, McCartney has engineered a compelling compendium of integrated distractions, somewhat in the manner of Robert Burtons Anatomy of Melancholy. Read it from A to Z. He knows who you are: you will be quizzed.—James McCourt, author of Queer Street
If Ive read a more deeply impressive, beautiful, sweeping, mindful, and innovative first novel than Alistair McCartneys The End of the World Book, I have no memory of it. McCartney is a writer of peerless, brilliant originality and pure, giant talent.—Dennis Cooper, author of The Sluts and God Jr.
