Meg Carpenter is broke, her novel years overdue. So when a pseudoscientific book promising life everlasting lands on her desk, she jumps at the chance to review it. Thus begins a labyrinthine journey featuring mysterious beasts of the moor, forest fairies, ships in bottles, and New Age theories of everything, forcing her to ask: Does anyone really want to live forever?
Smart and entrancing, Our Tragic Universe is a literary adventure story that finds connections where we didn't know they existed, breaks down conventions that keep us from our destinies, and shows how maybe stories just might save our lives.
