Is There God after Prince?: Dispatches from an Age of Last Things by Peter Coviello

5.0

*Is There God after Prince? Dispatches from an Age of Last Things* by Peter Coviello is a heartfelt exploration of the power of art, culture, and connection in times of uncertainty and looming disaster. Through a series of essays, Coviello reflects on how the things we love—songs, books, movies, and people—become anchors in a world that feels increasingly fragile.

Coviello's essays are a blend of humor, sorrow, and deep critical engagement, as he navigates through a wide range of cultural touchstones, from Prince to Joni Mitchell, *The Sopranos* to *The Shining*. These essays are not just about the works themselves, but about how they intersect with the most intimate moments of life—friendship, love, loss, and the ever-present sense of "endstrickenness" that pervades our current age.
