Everything Matters!

Junior Thibodeau grows up in rural Maine in a time of Atari, baseball cards, pop Catholicism and cocaine. He also knows something no one else knows - neither his exalted parents, nor his baseball-savant brother, nor the love of his life (she doesn't believe him anyway): The world will end when he is thirty-six. While Junior searches for meaning in a doomed world, his loved ones tell an all-American saga of fathers and sons, blinding romance, lost love, and reconciliation - culminating in one final triumph that reconfigures the universe. A genre-bending potpourri of alternative history, sci-fi and the great American tale. 320p.
