How is The End of Everything the same? How is it different? Sara Gran: The End of Everything shares common themes with your previous four novels, yet stands out as a departure-it takes place in the 1980s (your other novels took place before you were born), the narrator is 13 years old (your previous narrators were adult women), and it takes place in the suburbs (as opposed to the urban settings of your other books). In this exclusive, author Megan Abbott is interviewed by Sara Gran ( Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead) about The End of Everything.
Haunted by dreams of her lost friend and titillated by her own new power at the center of the disappearance, Lizzie uncovers secrets and lies that make her wonder if she knew her best friend at all.Īuthor One-on-One: Megan Abbott and Sara Gran Lizzie takes up her own furtive pursuit of the truth, prowling nights through backyards, peering through windows, pushing herself to the dark center of Evie's world. Was Evie unhappy, troubled, upset? Had she mentioned being followed? Would she have gotten into the car of a stranger? As a rabid, giddy panic spreads through the Midwestern suburban community, everyone looks to Lizzie for answers. The only clue: a maroon sedan Lizzie spotted driving past the two girls earlier in the day. To Lizzie, the Verver household, presided over by Evie's big-hearted father, is the world's most perfect place.Īnd then, one afternoon, Evie disappears. Together they live in the shadow of Evie's glamorous older sister Dusty, who provides a window on the exotic, intoxicating possibilities of their own teenage horizons.
They are best friends who swap bathing suits and field-hockey sticks, and share everything that's happened to them. Thirteen-year old Lizzie Hood and her next door neighbor Evie Verver are inseparable.
