In this brilliantly conceived exploration of doomsaying and revelation, Mark Kingwell argues that the brink tendencies manifested by contemporary popular culture—the popularity of body piercing, for example, or the proliferation of miracles—are, in fact, inextricably linked to the impending fin de siècle. One of Maclean’s top ten non-fiction books of 1996
