From the acclaimed author of Yes, Daddy; It's Not the End of the World is a terrifying climate thriller, a vicious takedown of the uber-wealthy, and a queer family saga that isn't afraid to punch back.
It's 2044 and life is bleak for many Americans, but not for Mason Daunt. Safe in his Los Angeles mansion, Mason can remain blissfully unaware of the relentless wildfires engulfing California, the proliferation of violent right-wing militias, and the rampant authoritarianism destroying American society. He's so rich, in fact, that he and his partner Yunho Kim are throwing a 100-person, $100,000 baby shower to celebrate their newborn-on-the-way. When a potentially apocalyptic event hits Los Angeles on the day of their celebration, though, the wealthy gay couple refuses to cancel their party. Surely it’s not the end of the world? But as Mason runs a few last-minute errands, a staggering twist thrusts him into the mounting chaos, and threatens the lives of everyone he holds dear.
Shot through with biting wit, brutal gore, primal sex, and unexpected catharsis, It's Not the End of the World is a nerve-shredding roller coaster of a novel that will leave readers shocked, heartbroken, and inspired to question their most firmly held convictions. What happens when our current battles with climate change, capitalism, and white supremacy are pushed to their breaking points? And how can we find hope?©2025 Jonathan Parks-Ramage (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー
Parks-Ramage takes the idea of a wealthy, sometimes frivolous main character getting ready for a party and dials it up to 11. But then, in an ambitious move that brings a delightful element of camp to the novel, he abandons that relatively safe and simple premise in favor of an exercise in maximalism. Which is to say that his plot goes off the rails — and it works...It’s Not the End of the World is a wild ride of a novel. Sometimes you have to laugh so you won’t cry — and as is usually the case with camp, there is something true and painful running beneath the humor. (Ilana Masad)
It’s Not the End of the World reads like the best yap sesh you have with your friends after splitting a pitcher of mimosas at brunch...[Parks Ramage] distorts humanity just to the point of recognition, delivering a sharp-tongued satire indicting the current political landscape as well as human greed and apathy. (Liz Doupnik)
In an unfortunately not-at-all-distant 2044, Mason Daunt is rich enough to ignore the crumbling world outside—until an apocalyptic event threatens to crash the over-the-top baby shower he’s throwing with his partner in their LA mansion. A gore- and sex-fueled satire from the author of Yes, Daddy this novel skewers privilege and denial with bleakness and hilarity. (Michelle Hart)
After the success of his debut modern gothic novel Yes, Daddy, Parks-Ramage returns with this new yarn chronicling the lives of queer men navigating homophobia, political opposition, a totalitarian government, and climate collapse in a futuristic world...This is a wild ride that spans a century in the life of two queer fathers in the future. (Jim Piechota)
Parks-Ramage’s ambitiously bonkers new page turner It’s Not the End of the World is a mash-up of social satire, sci-fi, soap opera, and horror set on the edge of the apocalypse. Both snark and gore ramp up quickly (a mutilated body is “still breathing tartare”) as Parks-Ramage pulls the reader into a breathless B-movie world situated somewhere between Mad Max and The Real Housewives. (Jim Gladstone)
It's Not the End of the World is both a demented, technicolor romp through end times and a heartbreaking story of love and family. From its terrifying opening to its gut punch conclusion, this grotesque, hilarious, beautiful novel had me in its thrall. Parks-Ramage has written the most imaginative and visceral cli-fi I've read to date.
It's Not the End of the World is a prescient and harrowing page turner and a brutally vivid wakeup call blending queer family making, an Atwood-esque ethos and a horny gay odyssey. Parks-Ramage warns us that the eradication of queer peoples' rights isn't only feasible, we're barreling directly toward its inevitability. Yet despite the terrors at play, we're imbued with hope that speculative fiction of this caliber combined with our will to persist might just save us all.
