Hanya Yanagihara's Only the End of the World Again is a thought-provoking and atmospheric novel that explores the themes of mortality, family, and the search for meaning in a world on the brink of destruction.

The novel is set in a near-future New York City that is slowly dying from pollution and climate change. The city is a toxic wasteland, and the air is thick with smog. The people who remain are sick and dying, and the city is on the verge of collapse.

In the midst of this chaos, a young woman named Evie receives a letter from her estranged brother, Jude. Jude is dying, and he wants Evie to come home to see him one last time. Evie is hesitant to return to the city, but she eventually agrees to go.

When Evie arrives in New York City, she finds a city that is both familiar and strange. The city is still beautiful in its own way, but it is also a place of pain and suffering. Evie is shocked by the state of her brother, and she is determined to make the most of her time with him.

Over the next few days, Evie and Jude spend time together talking about their lives and their fears. They talk about their childhood, their parents, and their dreams. Evie learns that Jude has been living with a secret that he has never told anyone before.

As the end of the world approaches, Evie and Jude come to terms with their own mortality. They realize that life is short and that it is important to cherish every moment. They also come to understand the importance of family and the power of love.

Only the End of the World Again is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a novel about love, loss, and the human spirit. It is a novel that will make you think about your own life and the choices you make.
