Patrik Ourednik’s breathless, depressing, and exhilarating journey through 20th-century history, discovered through Heiner Goebbel’s play Everything That Happened and Would Happen.
The book finishes with the End of History: “…a new age in human history, but it would no longer be historical. But lots of people did not know the theory and continued to make history as if nothing had happened.”
