AS SHE CLIMBED ACROSS THE TABL(ISBN=) 英文原版

Philip is in love with Alice. As the novel opens, he is
beginning to lose her. Not to another man, as he fears, but to,
literally, nothing. Alice is a physicist, and a team at the
University where both she and Philip work has created a hole, a
vacuum, a doorway of nothingness inside the laboratory. They call
it “Lack.” Alice becomes obsessed with Lack, as Philip is obsessed
by Alice. The novel is at the same time an astute and wise portrait
of unrequited love (albeit of a very unusual kind) a hilarious
academic parody, a novel of ideas and a social satire. It is
utterly original, but in the school of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo,
Katherine Dunn, and David Foster Wallace. Passion, humor, yearning
and knowledge, blended together in a suspenseful love story that
could be characterized as “American Magical Realism.” “From the
Hardcover edition.”
