«The End of Mr Y» is the science fiction, philosophy and mystery novel by Scarlett Thomas, published in paperback by Canongate (452 pages, in English).
Researcher Ariel Manto finds a second-hand copy of The End of Mr Y in a bookshop: the cursed book by Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas. Between physics, faith, love and death, the novel leads her to an alternative dimension where time and space seem governed by other laws.
The novel was longlisted for the Orange Prize 2008.
A novel for those who enjoy cursed books, academic mystery and reflections on time and consciousness.
