In Certainly the End of Something or Other David Foster Wallace reviews John Updike’s novel Towards the End of Time. The review begins with Wallace presenting his thesis: “Toward the End of Time is also, of the let’s say two dozen Updike books I’ve read, far and away the worst, a novel so clunky and self-indulgent that it’s hard to believe the author let it be publish in this kind of shape.” (Wallace, 52.)

He made his way along the rooftops- careful to keep his precious packages concealed as he jumped from building to building. The sooner he got to the bunker the better; he had good news to deliver.

It is up to individuals to decide if they would rather adapt to change, or…

The actual nature of the impending apocalypse is also a fascinating (if, again, not entirely original) concept – the world dies a quiet death, thanks to some rhino virus-chimera research (and that’s all I’ll say on the matter for fear of…
