內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:"Thomas's prose is so addictive you cant A = help but fall deeper and deeper under her spell."-Douglas Coupland" "Thomas brilliantly reminds us that, despite popular epresentations, many women are actually staying up half the night talking ideas. One feels alone. And then one reads Our Tragic Universe.-Jincy Willett, author of Winner of the National Book Award" "A delight" Philip Pullman" "Meg Carpenter is broke. Her novel is years overdue. So when a book called The Science of Living Forever lands on her desk, she jumps at the chance to review it, starting on a labyrinthine journey that, takes her from mysterious beasts of the moor to forest fairies to ships in bottles, New Age theories of everything to physics to narrative theory, and forces her to ask: Does anyone really want to live forever?" Our Tragic Universe finds connections where we didn't they existed, breaks down conventions that keep us from our destinies, and shows how we just might be able to rewrite our futures.
