From a 5 Under 35 winner, comes a razor-sharp, hilarious, and touching story of a son searching for his father . . . through quantum space-time. Every day in Minor Universe 31 people get into time machines and try to change the past. That's where Charles Yu, time travel technician, steps in. He helps save people from themselves. Literally. When he's not taking client calls, Yu visits his mother and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. |

Ultimately a book about the universe-wide emotional gap separating father from son, they also take on a haunting, melancholic air. |

It works well and is rewardingly entertaining–and all in the same time-space chronodiegetically correct universe. |
