As She Climbed across the Table


#152
Title: As She Climbed across the Table
Author: Jonathan Lethem
Publisher: faber and faber
Year: 1997
Genre: fantasy and science fiction
192 pages

You know by now that I love Lethem, right? Who else could write a love triangle with a physicist, a social scientist, and nothing? Though is includes a blind Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern, Schrodinger's cat, and many other amusing features (some of which are surely physics jokes that I don't get), this is pretty much a love story. It's relatively simple, sometimes a little labored, but generally pleasant and fun to read. Turn on "Particle Man" and enjoy.
