Scarlett Thomas has confirmed she will be reading from her book The End of Mr. Y
"Ariel Manto is a lonely PhD student, who has been doing research on 19th century writer Thomas Lumas when she enters a second-hand bookshop and stumbles upon an extremely rare novel by him, The End of Mr. Y, first published in 1893. The book is rumoured to be cursed, and anyone who has ever read it has been found dead not long afterwards.
The novel tells how to enter the Troposphere – a place where all consciousness is connected, and you can surf other people’s thoughts. Ariel wonders if this could be true; it is in a novel, after all. She would rather have fiction than reality – which is just poverty and bad sex – anyway. And she wants to know everything, including everything about the Troposphere, and whether or not such a thing could exist. But soon she’s running for her life, surfing both fiction and reality as she tries to escape from the people who want her secrets.
The End of Mr. Y is a though experiment wrapped in a contemporary adventure novel that asks questions about thought, language, destiny and the very limits of being and time."
We are giving away three copies of Mr. Y and three copies of another of Scarlett's books, PopCo ('PopCo a history lesson, a modern fable, an adventure story, even a romance. And it involves buried treasure! More than anything though, it is a wonderfully, gorgeously, original piece of work. The world has never seen anyone like Alice Butler, and Scarlett Thomas has gone a long way towards crafting a one-of-a-kind piece of literature.' - Bookslut.com).
