Scarlett Thomas writes literary fiction that mixes philosophy, puzzles, relationships and speculative ideas. The End of Mr. Y follows Ariel Manto after she finds a rare book by an obscure Victorian scientist and discovers that its supposed curse is connected to a mental space where consciousness can be entered and manipulated. PopCo centres on a toy-company employee who works with codes and puzzles while questioning the ethics of marketing, and Our Tragic Universe turns ideas about story structure and meaning into the background of a novelist's unsettled life. The Seed Collectors uses an extended family and a mysterious plant collection to examine desire and inheritance. Thomas's books fit cerebral literary fiction, metafiction, speculative puzzles and novels about ideas. Read more Less
