Like Dickens David Copperfield  Ferrantes Neapolitan tetralogy  and Karl Ove Knausgaards My Struggle series  this is the story of a human life  kindergarten to adulthood  ratty beach apartment to bohemian party house  feverish basement to ramshackle farmhouse. Through the eyes of Gnades protagonist  James Jackson Bozic  we see how life scars you  changes you as you fight to find a safe place for yourself. It is  in turn  a murder mystery  a love story  and a vast  sweeping  panoramic look at America on the edge of collapse. Its a story of displacement  strange shores  new mornings. As James says in the book  \"I thought of how sometimes in the midst of survival  life will jerk you away from your home  how it will push you out across the map  away from the people you love  or into the path of others.\" This Is the End... is about scratching and clawing for a better  safer  more satisfying life  even as the sky comes crashing down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947351830581,"sku":"ByrdShop_1939899354","price":61.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781939899354_9a3664f2-bc43-442e-949b-222ba0298482.jpg?v=1770693358","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/this-is-the-end-of-something-but-its-not-the-end-of-you","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
