From the press: Simultaneously epic and intimate, Ian M. McCarty’s “I Woke Up Early The Morning After The End Of The World” harnesses the energy unleashed by cataclysm to atomize the categories of post-apocalyptic literature. As the book’s intertwining texts plumb the abyssal mysteries of recursion, they grapple with an impulse that’s bedeviled our species since the dawn of consciousness: redemption.
