Description:
What if your lover were to leave you for nothing...nothing at all? With this premise, the genre-busting author of Gun, with Occasional Music launches a vertiginous speculative romance that suggests a collaboration between Lewis Carroll and Philip K. Dick.
Expand description
Professor Philip Engstrand is in love with Alice Coombs. Unfortunately, Professor Coombs, a particle physicist, has lately fallen in love with an artificially created nothingness, a rift in the universe that she and her colleagues call Lack. Lack absorbs some things (light bulbs, a pomegranate, an argyle sock) and disdains others (a bow tie, an ice ax, and a scrambled duck egg). To Alice, this makes Lack an irresistibly mysterious personality. And to Philip, Lack may very well be an unbeatable rival -- one that has no flaws because it has no qualities. Ingenious, hilarious, and genuinely mind-expanding, As She Climbed Across the Table is the best boy-meets-girl-meets-void story ever written.
