About the Author:
Andrew Crumey was born in Glasgow in 1961. He read theoretical physics and mathematics at St Andrews University and Imperial College in London, before doing post-doctoral research at Leeds University on nonlinear dynamics. After a spell of being the literary editor at Scotland on Sunday he now combines teaching creative writing at Northumbria University with his writing. He is the author of seven novels, which have been translated into 14 languages and enjoyed world-wide success.
Review:
"An ingenious blend of philosophy, physics and fantasy...immensely stimulating and entertaining." -- Sunday Telegraph
"Crumey writes brilliantly about being a boy...A brio of a book." --
Diana Hendry, The Spectator
"...a surprisingly moving novel about impersonal forces that can threaten the bonds of love. Never has astrophysics seemed so touching and funny." -- Sinclair McKay, The Daily Telegraph
