Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur 'I was reading about the end of the universe when I got a text message from my friend Libby . . .' If Kelsey Newman's theory about the end of time is true, we are all going to live forever. But for Meg - locked in a hopeless relationship and with a deadline long-gone for a book that she can't write - this thought fills her with dread. Meg is lost in a labyrinth of her own devising. But could there be an important connection between a wild beast living on Dartmoor, a ship in a bottle, the science of time, a knitting pattern for the shape of the universe and the Cottingley Fairies? Or is her life just one long chain of coincidences? Smart, entrancing and buzzing with big ideas, Our Tragic Universe is a book about how relationships are created and destroyed, and how a story might just save your life. Biographie de l'auteur Scarlett Thomas was born in London in 1972. Her novels for adults include Bright Young Things, PopCo, The Seed Collectors, The End of Mr. Y which was longlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007, and Our Tragic Universe. Her first series for children, The Worldquake Sequence, follows the adventures of Effie Truelove. She teaches creative writing at the University of Kent.
