Best Under-the-Radar Book of 2020

A Hundred Little Pieces on the End of the World has been named to Literary Hub’s list of The Best Under-the-Radar Books of 2020, recommended by independent booksellers. Jeremy Garber of Powell’s in Portland calls the book “thought-provoking, reflective, and forthright“ and says, “Throughout A Hundred Little Pieces on the End of the World, Rember demonstrates not only a mordant wit and dark sense of humor, but also an all-too-rare ability to see things as they actually are.”
