Abstract (EN): This Is the Way the World Ends is a collection of endings from novels, short stories and other fictional texts. From each work only the last sentence is copied; no comment at all is added. This collection allows us to think about what is common to all the closures of narratives and how the obsession of the end imposes itself. On the other hand, since the end of a text is also the closure of a universe, this sequence of about two hundred quotes intends to think how writing describes – and maybe summons – the end of the world.
