One day Mr. Memento Mori realises that he is a book character and has a superpower to travel into books and so, he decides to strike against the evil writers who sentence their characters to death. Mr.

Mori persuades Romeo and Juliet that suicide is not a solution and in their adulthood, they will remember these days with laughter. He goes to The Magic Mountain with a huge supply of penicillin. In reverse Mr. Mori pushes Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls and kills him in order to save many other characters.

But everything turns upside down when Mr.

Mori discovers that in the book where he is the character the author decides to kill someone. He has no information about the victim so Mr.

Mori gathers all the characters and with the help of H. G. Wells' time-machine starts a journey to different epochs. As time changes, the genres vary so the power of the author becomes limited outside the post-modern world. Mr. Mori knows it and selects the direction where the characters have bigger chance to survive.

Reviews for Everybody Dies in this Novel

"""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"
