Before McCarten became known for his novels and screenplays, he published A Modest Apocalypse and Other Stories (1991). This early story collection shows a young writer already drawn to the kinds of characters and situations that would define his later work: ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances, told with black humor and genuine emotion.
The collection stands as an interesting starting point for readers who want to trace McCarten’s development as a storyteller from his earliest published work.
