The Universe Ends in Brooklyn

After a run-in with his (now former) girlfriend and her lover, Peter flees to a local bar, where he seeks solace among other unsatisfied people. Peter quickly gravitates to the local Pac-man legend, Johnny, whose unrequited love for the Southern beauty, Jasmine, is muted by Jasmine’s charming and successful boyfriend, Romeo. When Jasmine and Romeo show up to cheer on Johnny’s legendary Pac-man performance, emotions begin to spiral out of control. If that wasn’t bad enough, our narrators begin to notice that something isn’t right about the world around them. Why does Peter keep having flashbacks to past relationships? Why does Romeo feel like Time is slowing down? And what does it mean when the eccentric philosopher, Leif, begins to peel away the fabric of the surrounding world? With quick pacing and short chapters, The Universe Ends in Brooklyn combines literary fiction and pop-philosophy with a touch of sci-fi, making it appealing to readers of any ilk.
