Set in Upstate South Carolina in the months leading up to Y2K, Junah at the End of the World follows twelve-year old Junah Simmons as he confronts the iconic catastrophes of youth—falling in love, finding one’s self, and surviving public school—while wrestling with the notion that the world itself could end in December. Junah’s odyssey through this existential landscape is kicks off with an assignment from his teacher to convert a shoebox into a time capsule and fill it with “things that tell what it was like to be alive in Carolina at the end of the world.”
