Day's End is a small town in the midst of an existential crisis. A series of interwoven vignettes follow various residents on their daily escapades, all somehow constituting a desperate search for meaning. These include a cantankerous senior citizen, a fanatical crossing guard, a bombastic politician, a sensationalist reporter, and one very angry raccoon. Their accounts are presented alongside recovered articles from the Day's End Daily newspaper. This is the book you will hopefully read about the town you can never leave. Ever.
