Summary:
In infancy, Junior Thibodeaux is encoded with a prophesy: a comet will obliterate life on the planet in thirty-six years. By itself in this understanding, he comes old in rural Maine grappling with the question: Does anything I do matter? While the voice which has accompanied him since conception appraises his choices, Junior’s family members emerge with parallel stories-his anxious mother; his brother, a cocaine addict changed pro-baseball phenomenon; his exalted dad, whose very own mortality summons Junior’s best and worst intuition; and Amy, the like of Junior’s life and a North Celebrity to his trip through love and heartbreak, drug-addled despair, and superheroic feats that could save mankind. While our recognizable globe is transformed right into a bizarre country at endgame, where federal government brokers conspire in subterranean bunkers, preparing citizens for emigration from a doomed world, Junior’s final triumph confounds all expectation, building to an amazing and deeply shifting quality. Ron Currie, Jr., reaches the heart of character, and the voices who narrate this exclusively American tour de pressure leave an indelible, exhilarating impression.
