Who is Luke Healy? An absurdist dramedy about self-esteem in the wake of a climate destructionLife is not a race. There are no winners and losers. Immeasurable people are doing better than youimmeasurably worse. You are statistically average.For over ten years, cartoonist Luke Healy has invested all of his self-esteem into his career. But two years post publication of his last book, and suffering the blow of his twin-brother not finding him fit to act as best man, both Lukes career and self-esteem seem to have disintegrated.Set against the backdrop of a dangerously changing global climate, with melting ice-caps and flooding cities, Self-Esteem and the End of the World spans two decades of tragicomic self-discovery. From self-help books to summiting Greek mountaintops, and workplace murder mysteries to a Hollywood revival of Lukes early work, we see our protagonist grappling with his identity as the world crumbles.Quietly funny, smartly introspective, and grounded in deeply-felt familial highs and lows, Self-Esteem and the End of the World ponders what happens when the person you are isnt who you need to be, who you are when nobodys watching, and ultimately, Who can you possibly be at the end of the world?
