Tout vient à mourir

All We Want Is Everything is a slim book but it is jammed with stories that drip with guts, bodily
emissions, and heartache, told by narrators who long for a real connection. The writing is a clean right
hook that lands with precision....It’s a startling debut by one of my new favourite writers whose promise
is clear and future looks bright. Write his name down because hopefully he’s going to be a big deal.

The 20 stories in All We Want Is Everything are hard and unforgiving, dragging the reader bodily
through a world in which factory machines mangle workers beyond repair and clouds of birds
descend on a city, turning it into a toxic wasteland of filth and unbreathable air.

Reading Sullivan’s visceral, understated prose is roughly equivalent to watching a train wreck—
horrifying, yet compelling, at the same time. … Sullivan should be commended for his strong
commitment to voice and his uncanny ability to plumb the depths of these characters.
This is a bold and arresting debut.
