Description

In the hallowed halls of Seabrook College, a shocking event unfolds: the untimely death of a student named Skippy. This mystery unravels against a backdrop of ambitious scientific endeavors, as Skippy's friend Ruprecht Van Doren attempts to breach parallel universes with advanced string theory. The narrative also weaves in the complexities of teenage rivalries and forbidden desires, particularly involving Carl, a local drug dealer vying for the same affection. This darkly comic novel explores themes of friendship, obsession, and the often-absurd realities of adolescence, all while grappling with the profound question of what truly leads to Skippy's demise.
