About The End of the World Book
Arranged alphabetically, McCartney employs a short, free association style to expound on disparate topics, including Princess Diana, head lice, extinctiona̮nd everything in between. The narrator's obsessionsp̮ornography, razors, cholos and his mother, to name a few-pop up frequently, and many entries are tinged with a sense of melancholy and foreboding. Paradoxically, his ruminations are most successful when they are most absurd.
