Author Alistair McCartney Lecture

The End of the World Book: An Alphabetical Guide to the Apocalypse, Incorporating Image and Text
Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 3:00pm; Open Book Cafe, Helen C. White Hall

Alistair McCartney will read from his darkly comic debut, The End of the World Book, which is at once an experimental novel, a metafictional memoir, and an encyclopedia (A-Z) of observations, obsessions, and philosophical fixations. In the formally daring manner of Borges or Bolaño, McCartney catalogues the whole of human history through the fever dreams and fables of one man searching for "a word that doesn't fold back on the world." McCartney proposes a twenty-first century updating of Oscar Wilde's revelatory lecture-performances. He will read from the novel against a backdrop of projected images, queering the traditional lecture format and guiding the audience through the highs and lows of life and culture, from Abercrombie and Fitch to Aristotle, Cholos to Marie Curie, Franz Kafka to Freddie Krueger, Britney Spears to suicide bombers...and beyond.
