Publisher Description
The writer and creator of the YouTube channel and production house Pursuit of Wonder brings you his debut book, Notes from the End of Everything.
After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, writer John Gallo spends his time confronting his lifelong sense of fraudulence, regret, and self-misunderstanding, all while loosely chronicling the development of his cancer.
Formed out of a collection of journal-like essays posthumously discovered on his computer, we follow Gallo’s mind as he ruminates on concepts and theories of time, being, death, anxiety, creativity, despair, isolation, happiness, wonder, absurdity, and other eternal themes of life — big and small.
The work carries a tone of existentialism as well as a culmination of other complimentary and sometimes contradictory philosophies that meld into a modern, accessible take that is simultaneously dark and hopeful.
Customer Reviews
I highly recommend this for abstract thinkers and philosophers such as myself.
Perhaps this review comes from a slightly biased standpoint, since I am an avid fan of Robert’s YouTube channel (Pursuit of Wonder), but this audiobook was everything I had hoped for. The writing itself is excellent and very well polished. The narration is smooth, clear, and relatively relaxing, despite the heavy and abstract subject matter. There is little more to say about this wonderfully constructed audiobook, except for this: do take a listen, and enjoy it. I sure enjoyed it!
Beauty at it’s finest
The first time in year’s that I felt compelled to listen. Did not disappoint.
