Your own tiny apocalypse at the end of the world of the day. These days, I’m concerned with considering just what, to you, is the world? And what would it do to you to watch it end? The world, to each of us, is a personal thing, and its loss is our own personal apocalypse. Everything is drowned in light, even your dreams. When the world ends, the great bird descends. And we’ll say for the purposes of this list that an apocalypse occurs any time our world ends. So here’s a list about books in which there is, or recently was, an apocalypse. It is all meaningless, the world is ending, we should all take a day off, because, like this song assumes, the world’s done, the end has come, why are you getting ready to go to work? Why not, I don’t know, read a book? There’s this song I hear my partner listen to almost every night while she scrolls TikTok: why you working so hard, it asks the world is ending! yay! it’s the apocalypse! take a day off, it entreats us it’s all meaningless!
