One day Memento Mori realises that he is a character in a book who has the power to travel from one book to another. He decides to strike against evil writers who sentence their characters to death. He persuades Romeo and Juliet that suicide is not the best solution and that when they are adults they will remember these days with laughter. To save many others from an untimely death he travels to the Reichenbach Falls to push Professor Moriarty to his death.
Memento Mori's efforts to save more characters from their authors is interrupted when he learns that his author plans to kill off a character. He has no information about who the intended victim is, so with the help of H. G. Wells' time-machine he takes all the characters to a different dimension where they have a better chance of survival.
Everyone Dies in This Novel is a delightful postmodern comedy which has found a worldwide audience.
'Everybody Dies in this Novel offers a big tangle of inter-and meta-textual fun, jumping all about at breakneck speed, and it's good and clever fun as such.'
M.A.Orthofer in The Complete Review
'In short this is a magnificent romp through literature, religion, myth, advertising, modern culture and much else. Some of the time you will wonder what is going on but no matter, you will soon move on to something else which is seemingly totally irrelevant and/or totally postmodern. Adamashvili clearly had great fun writing this and shows a wide knowledge for a young writer. And were you were worried about Death? Remember him? He appeared at the beginning. You will be glad to learn he gets a good night's sleep.'
John Alvey in The Modern Novel
