    Named a Vulture Best Comedy Book of 2023.

AlbakiReads Editorial

A comic encyclopedia with an expansive remit

Cunk on Everything frames an encyclopedia as a comic answer to the question of why there are so many books. Its subject matter ranges across human knowledge, pairing life’s big mysteries with political figures and cultural touchstones; the description signals that breadth through references from Adam and Eve to Top Gun. The premise turns the familiar reference-book format into the material for humor, with Philomena Cunk presenting the volume as a single guide to the whole known universe. The description is deliberately grand in its claims, while the book’s stated organizing idea remains simple: gather an enormous range of topics under one title.

Book overview

A VULTURE BEST COMEDY BOOK OF 2023

From the star of the "deeply funny, unexpectedly informative" (The Daily Beast) Netflix mockumentary Cunk on Earth, a helpful guide covering every single topic in the known universe, from Adam and Eve to Top Gun.

Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk.

Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books? Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book -- an encyclopedia of all human knowledge, delving into not only life's greatest mysteries but our most important political figures and cultural touchstones.

Read it, and you'll never have to read another book again.
