Killing Einstein

Fiction

“When the protagonist learns Cantor’s diagonal proof from Gödel and Einstein while munching burgers in a bowling alley, you might think this is a nerd-boy fantasy. And it is. But it goes beyond that to reflect on the way in which the life of the mind intersects with mental illness and political upheaval. It’s a novel for those with restless, curious minds.”
