Media Reviews
Extraordinarily good-insightful, affecting, funny, and appropriately terrifying. The perfect handbook for the end times. Mark O'Connell is a truly brilliant writer and Notes from an Apocalypse could hardly be more incisive, or more timely -- Sally Rooney
Anyone with open eyes lives today bound by apocalyptic fears for the future and the maddening same-ness that defines the present day. Notes from an Apocalypse is a penetrating investigation into that new uncanny, which shapes both our collective indifference and our climate rage -- David Wallace Wells, author of * The Uninhabitable Earth *
Riveting, fascinating, comic and appalling... O'Connell is a charming guide * Scotsman *
A writer with quite a way with words... he reports with a fluency and humour any novelist might envy... A gem of a book * Evening Standard *
Extraordinary, utterly vital... like some dream combination of Jon Ronson and Don DeLillo -- Paul Murray
Seriously funny... Disturbingly relevant... Some of O'Connell's encounters are deliciously, novelistically weird... The brilliance of the book, though, lies in the analysis... this is ultimately, surprisingly, a hopeful book.... brilliantly done * Sunday Times *
