“A wonderful world, where are you” (2021) — the third book by young Irish writer Sally Rooney, whom critics call “the voice of the millennial generation.” The first—“Conversations with Friends” (2017)—and the second—“Normal People” (2018)—had, without exaggeration, phenomenal success both with readers and with literary critics.
Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon are searching for love in the face of an extremely uncertain future—their own and that of all humanity.
They also write to each other by email, discussing life, art, history, and politics—sharing anxious thoughts about the bleak fate of the Earth, interwoven with details of their romantic relationships…
This is a book about love, friendship, the search for the meaning of life, and growing up in a world that is heading full speed toward the abyss.
