The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
A special After School & Beyond reading. Cited as a "5 Under 35" Award-winner by the National Book Foundation for his book of stories, Third Class Superhero, Charles Yu hits Seattle with his winning debut novel, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (Pantheon). "With Star Wars allusions, glimpses of a future world, and journeys to the past, as well as hilarious and poignant explanations of 'chronodiegetics,' or the 'theory of the nature and function of time within a narrative space,' Yu constructs a clever, fluently metaphorical tale. A funny, brain-teasing, and wise take on archetypal father-and-son issues, the mysteries of time and memory, emotional inertia, and one sweet but bumbling misfit's attempts to escape a legacy of sadness and isolation." - Booklist. Colson Whitehead, Kevin Brockmeier, Audrey Niffenegger, and David Eagleman all would agree with Nick Harkaway on How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe: "Funny, touching, and weirdly beautiful. The book is awesome."
