About the Book

An edgy, hilarious novel about one man's attempt to alert his friends to the catastrophe sure to arrive on the eve of Y2K. It's 1998. Randall, a twenty-five-year-old children's singer and puppeteer, has discovered the clock is ticking toward a worldwide technological cataclysm. But he may be able to save his loved ones-if he can convince them to prepare for the looming threat. That's why he's quit his job, moved into his car, and set out to sound the alarm. The End As I Know It follows Randall on his poignant and funny coast-to-coast Cassandra tour.

Review :
“Shay takes The End as I Know It into sublimely multilayered directions.” —Los Angeles Times“[The End As I Know It] provides readers with one picaresque, laugh-out-loud funny scene after another. . . . Shay's end-is-nigh novel successfully targets not just the funny bone, but the darkness of the human heart.” —The Boston Globe“Shay endows his main character . . . with the sharp wit one would expect from a McSweeney's alum.” —San Francisco Chronicle“That Randall is charming and appealing even as he alienates everyone he loves is a testament to Shay's light and witty touch with his nutty hero. . . . Shay is a first novelist not to be dismissed.” —USA Today
