Title : The Physics of Catastrophes - Marisha Pessl - book

Summary :

Bleue Van Meer would be a perfectly ordinary American teenager. Except that, at the age of five, she lost her mother in a car accident, and her father, an exuberant and eccentric intellectual, now shuttles her from one university town to another, toward new adventures, always on the road. They share a close relationship, engage in verbal jousting, engage in scholarly quotes, and rewrite the history of literature and quantum physics. But one day, she discovers the hanging corpse of Hannah Schneider, her favorite professor. What can she do? Follow her father's advice and reconstruct the story, with rigor, a touch of comedy, if possible, and plenty of anecdotes. Will that be enough to unravel the drama and uncover the secrets of an entourage more mysterious than it seems? Casually, under the guise of play and humor, Marisha Pessl offers a unique critical vision of American consumer society. At once dark, funny and poignant, this novel, dizzying with verve and brilliance, offers us an unforgettable heroine and marks the spectacular entrance of Marisha Pessl, born storyteller and child prodigy of young literature
