Apocalypse in prose: has the worst happened or is it yet to come?

By Quentin Perissinotto · 28 October 2022

When you think of the end of the world in literature, two things immediately spring to mind: Joël Dicker or the great dystopias. It's neither of these that we're going to discuss here. In the same way that fantasy and science fiction are intimately linked to the apocalyptic vision of humanity, so-called «white» literature is also increasingly taking up the subject. And if the world is being turned upside down, the two novels we're going to look at are also turning the reader upside down. Each in its own way.
