Would you give up the love of your life on the advice of a stranger? A picturesque love story begins at the cinema when our hero - an unacclaimed writer, unorthodox professor and unmistakeable New Yorker - first meets Q, his one everlasting love. Over the following weeks, in the rowboats of Central Park, on the miniature golf courses of Lower Manhattan, under a pear tree in Q's own inner-city Eden, their miraculous romance accelerates and blossoms. They are destined to be together. Until one day a man claiming to be our hero’s future self tells him he must leave Q. In Q, Evan Mandery has fashioned an epic love story on quantum foundations. The novel wears its philosophical and narrative sophistication lightly: with exuberant, direct and witty prose, Mandery brings an essayist’s poise to this fabulous romance. And, finally, Q has an ending that will melt even the darkest heart.
Praise for 'Q': '!the payoff is big. A word to the tear prone: don't attempt to read the ending in public.' Susannah Meadows, The New York Times 'A poignant, often hilarious, consideration of our universal curse of second guessing! It will take a reader with a very hard-heart not to be moved by "Q".'
