In infancy, Junior Thibodeaux is encoded with a prophecy: a comet will obliterate life on Earth in 36 years. Alone in this knowledge, he comes of age in rural Maine grappling with the question, “Does anything I do matter?”

While the voice that has accompanied him since conception appraises his choices, Junior’s loved ones emerge with parallel stories - his anxious mother; his brother, a cocaine addict turned pro-baseball phenomenon; his exalted father, whose own mortality summons Junior’s best and worst instincts; and Amy, the love of Junior’s life and a North Star to his journey through romance and heartbreak, drug-addled despair, and superheroic feats that could save humanity.

While our recognizable world is transformed into a bizarre nation at endgame, where government agents conspire in subterranean bunkers, preparing citizens for emigration from a doomed planet, Junior’s final triumph confounds all expectation, building to an astonishing and deeply moving resolution.

In a novel where the outcome is a foregone conclusion, you might expect the slow dread of a world-ending event to creep up and make you take pause. The exact opposite is true, as Currie and the remarkable multi-cast narration miraculously keep you on the edge, hopeful until the very last.

Ron Currie, Jr., gets to the heart of character, and the voices who narrate this uniquely American tour de force leave an indelible, exhilarating impression.

What the Critics Say

“Like Kurt Vonnegut, Currie understands that . . . humor is a more powerful salt than screed.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Everything Matters! is one of the most unique novels I’ve come across this year - unpredictable without being flashy, sweet without being sentimental, thoughtful without being preachy - a fun read that will keep you thinking long after the story is over.” (Amazon.com review)
