Exit West

“The end of the world can be cozy at times.”
“Yes, like a cave.”

One of the best non-apocalyptic apocalypse fiction books I've read. A beautiful exploration of unique love where the unimaginable realities of our lives are interwoven with a fantastical element to everyday life. When insanity comes to town the impossibility of leaving makes itself possible, and the things that are meant to tear us apart bring us closer together.

The usual tropes of humanities' salvation in the face of it's demise are set aside but ultimately illuminated in heartfelt illustrations of everyday people.
