Since the dawn of civilization, prophets and scientists have repeatedly predicted the end of the world without success. Some may argue, however, that the world they were referring to is just not what most people imagined it to be. Lullabies for the End of the World, Majo Delgadillo's debut book, is a collection of short stories that dissect the many micro cosmoses composing our lives-friends, family, lovers-to understand the bonds that tie them together and the forces that can eventually lead to their collapse.
