«Our Tragic Universe» is the novel by Scarlett Thomas, published by Canongate Books in paperback (448 pages, in English).
The novel follows Meg, a woman trapped in a relationship with no future, who confronts Kelsey Newman's theory about the end of time: if it is true, everyone will live forever, though she does not wish it. To find a way out, she tries to connect a wild beast from Dartmoor, a ship in a bottle, the science of time, and a knitting pattern shaped like the universe.
A read for those seeking literary fiction with scientific and philosophical reflections on time and reality.
