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 family saga of fathers and sons, blinding romance, lost love, and reconciliation-culminating in one final triumph that reconfigures the universe. A tour de force of storytelling, Everything Matters! is a genre-bending potpourri of alternative history, sci-fi, and the great American tale in the tradition of John Irving and Margaret Atwood.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401890676972,"sku":"9780143117513","price":51.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f7fcc423b31867ad50eee4118f9c1202.jpg?v=1773803475","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/everything-matters-by-ron-currie-9780143117513","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
