Charles Yu Life in a Science Fictional Universe After more than 35 years, finally a great, moving, highly original cult successor to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance NOVEL NOVEMBER Charles Yu (1976) lives in California and writes for various literary magazines.

Every day, people get into a time machine and try to do what they shouldn't do: change the past. So every day, time machines break down. When a time machine breaks down, it naturally, like all machines, needs to be repaired. Enter Charles Yu: a time machine repairman and unpaid life advisor. He protects people from themselves. In his spare time, Charles visits his mother (who is in a one-hour cycle and therefore permanently cooking) and searches for his father, the inventor of time travel, who has suddenly disappeared. Together with Tammy, an insecure computer system with low self-esteem, a non-existent but ontological dog named Ed and the book Life in a Science Fiction World as a guide, Charles does everything he can to find that one day when he and his father can finally meet. Charles Yu's razor-sharp debut will shake the literary space world to its foundations. 'Charles Yu is an extraordinarily clever writer and Life in a Science Fiction World is brilliantly written, witty and simply time-transcendingly fun.' Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife 'Life in a Science Fiction World is a rarity (...) a genuinely original novel.' Kevin Brockmeier, author of The View From the Seventh Layer and The Brief History of the Dead 'This book is absolutely amazing. If I could go back in time and read it sooner, I would.'
