First edition/first printing in Near Fine condition, minor shades of use, in Fine dust-jacket; In Waiting for the End of the World, Bell Madison Smartt chronicles her journey from a young girl who believed in the end of the world to a woman who is now living in fear that it is coming sooner than she thought. Through her essays and personal interviews, Smartt explores the ways in which we all try to make sense of the incomprehensible and the ways in which our beliefs about the end of the world have changed over time. She asks questions such as: What happens to the human psyche when the world as we know it is coming to an end? And what happens to the relationships that we build in the course of our lives?
