Before its publication in 1994, substantial excerpts of American author Tom Drury's novel The End of Vandalism had already been published as minimalist stories in The New Yorker. [1] After publication, it was cited by New York Magazine as one of the nine best books of the year [2] and in 2002 GQ named it among their best 50 works of fiction of the past 50 years. [3]

The book was reissued in the US in 2006 [4] and in the UK in 2015, when The Independent's reviewer called it one of the best books published that year. [5]
