Synopsis

From the creator and 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.

Diane Morgan regularly appeared as Philomena Cunk on Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe on BBC television. Her character did wonderful pieces of mockumentary to camera in a dead pan manner poking fun at many things. I loved the television programme, so I bought the book. I did not want an audiobook as I......more
