The End of the World News is a 1982 novel by British author Anthony Burgess. Presented without chapter breaks, the plot weaves together three storylines. One follows Leon Trotsky on a journey to New York City shortly before the Russian Revolution of 1917. This story is written as the libretto of an Off-Broadway musical. A second tale covers the life and career of Sigmund Freud and includes portrayals of Havelock Ellis and Krafft-Ebing. The third part is set in the future, shortly before the impact of a rogue, extrasolar planet with the Earth. Because of the latter story line, it is considered a work of fantastic fiction. ReceptionReviewing the book for The New York Times, Anatole Broyard concluded that "Mr. Burgess might have written a very good science-fiction novel if he had been more interested in entertaining the reader rather than himself."[1] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Broyard|first=Anatole|title=Triple End of Innocence|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/03/12/books/book-of-the-times-triple-end-of-innocence.html?ref=bookreviews|work=Book of the Times|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=15 June 2011|date=March 12, 1983}} {{Burgess}}{{DEFAULTSORT:End Of The World News, The}} 6 : 1982 British novels|Novels by Anthony Burgess|Cultural depictions of Leon Trotsky|Cultural depictions of Sigmund Freud|Hutchinson (publisher) books|Impact event novels |
