M. John Harrison
"A “thoroughly original, masterly” (New York Times Book Review) apocalyptic adventure, and a formidable exploration of what it means to be human in a shifting world, from "one of the very great writers alive today." (China Miéville)
"A book not just about everything but about now.” —Booker Prize Judge citation
"I don't think I'll read a better book this year, perhaps decade."—Observer (UK)
"A formidable book."—Financial Times
Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artifacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, an entire continent has been mislaid. It feels like the end.
Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artifact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows. The End of Everything is a slyly satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure into the limits of human understanding, from the peerless master of contemporary fiction.

PRAISE FOR M. JOHN HARRISON & THE END OF EVERYTHING:
"A book not just about everything but about now."—Booker Prize Judge citation
"Thoroughly original . . . a masterly exercise in restraint, unsettling beauty and elliptical writing that can enlighten even when it obfuscates." —New York Times Book Review
"Lyrical, challenging, and often balancing on the knife’s edge between humorous and absolutely gut punching. . . It’s unlike anything I’ve read before.” —Chicago Review of Books, '12 Must-Read Books of October'
"This is a formidable book: dusky, casually horrifying, unexpectedly compassionate." —Financial Times
"A work of uncanny beauty, tender and terrifying in equal parts." —Literary Review
"Reading it hit me like a truck. . . It's a novel that destabilises you—quite savagely—in the course of its reading. But you're absolutely not walking away. You're locked in, and you're having the time of your life." —Helen Macdonald, Observer (UK)
"Harrison isn't weirder than most other writers, just better. Reading The End of Everything, you feel you're not so much reading as dreaming." ―Telegraph
"The End of Everything elucidates humanity's disintegrating existence with strange clarity."—Guardian
“A towering genius of modern fiction.” —China Miéville
"Among the most brilliant novelists writing today."—Robert Macfarlane
“No one alive can write sentences as he can. . . Harrison is without peer as a chronicler of the fraught, unsteady state we're in.”—Olivia Laing
“M. John Harrison is the closest thing we have to a present-day Wyndham or Ballard.” ―New Statesman
