Description

Self-Esteem and the End of the World by Luke Healy is a poignant exploration of identity and self-discovery set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. After a decade of investing his self-esteem in his career, Luke's life is turned upside down by a series of personal setbacks, forcing him to confront the fragility of his sense of self. As he navigates the challenges of a global climate in crisis, Luke's struggles become a source of dark comedy, as he grapples with the complexities of modern life. From awkward social encounters to existential crises, this deeply introspective novel is a quietly funny and smartly observed exploration of what it means to be human. Through Luke's story, Healy ponders the question of who we are when nobody's watching, and what happens when the person we are isn't who we need to be. A thought-provoking and deeply felt exploration of identity, Self-Esteem and the End of the World is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a nuanced and insightful novel.
