Synopsis
In this bleak, finely-wrought personal memoir, Robert Goolrick brings the readers into his personal hell, and with precision demonstrates how his seemingly glamorous parents betrayed his love, abused him physically and mentally, and doomed him to a loveless, self-hating life of confusion and mental instability. The execution of such writing is touchy--the author must walk a fine line between rant and reason--but Goolrick succeeds, and the results are nothing less than devastating.

Publisher's Note
A candid and deeply personal memoir of growing up in the seemingly idyllic world of a small Southern college town reflects on the devastating secrets behind the genteel façade and the effects of a family history of alcoholism on his life.

Industry reviews
"THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT is barbed and canny, with a sharp eye for the infliction of pain."
 (03/26/2007)

"Peeling away the family's carefully constructed facade like the layers of an onion, this brave memoir tells of a childhood marred by alcoholism and an adulthood mired in loneliness, substance abuse and self-mutilation....Goolrick has written a moving, unflinchingly rendered story of how the past can haunt a life."
 (11/27/2006)
