Description
x- One of New York Magazine's 10 Best Comedy Books of 2023 -
Our feline cyborg hero must prevent climate "apawcalypse" by zapping back to 2000 and electing Purrsident Al Gore in this humorous sci-fi adventure. "[A]ctually a well constructed time-travel novel... It's funny but poignant, ridiculous but bittersweet."
-New York Magazine "This is good goofy fun. ... [A]n entertaining story with heart ... that will resonate with a lot of people, especially millennials."
-The Optionist "Somehow, it really works! Congrats to Marty on putting something very fun and very weird into the world."
-Kat Rosenfield, co-author (with Stan Lee) of A Trick of Light: Stan Lee's Alliances "[E]xemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. ... This is a different twist on a time travel story that is reminiscent of Philip K. Dick. A unique concept of technology that many pet lovers may wish was possible."
-Judge, Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards "Nostalgia for millennials. Hope, fun, and an exciting adventure."
-@RALBookClub, TikTok 2040: Earth's in trouble. Brilliant inventor Dr. Tara Switcher, an elder millennial (like all millennials), tried to save the environment, but politicians banned her controversial technology. Now she's surviving day to day with Blink, her sweetly optimistic, brain-chipped kitty. 2000: There's still hope. Tara is a punk-rock teenage activist who can't persuade anybody of anything ... until her zealous antics in Florida spoil everything for eco-friendly Vice President Al Gore. And for the rest of humanity. (Oops.) But can history be unwritten? Can hisstory? The future Dr. Switcher discovers a way back to her stubborn younger self ... and if she can't alter the darkest timeline, then maybe Blink can. The Time Meowchine is a bonkers yet heartfelt story of interspecies friendship across the multiverse (multifurse) that will leave readers purring. Praise for Other Books by the Author: "[A] laugh-out-loud parody..."
-USA Today "[F]unny..."
-Kirkus Reviews "Beckerman attacks the hot-button issues with a hilariously irreverent humor that makes you squirm, ponder and laugh..."
-PopMatters "[R]aucous..."
-Booklist "Amusing, and often laugh-out-loud... Beckerman's research is, to put it in very clear terms, exceptional."
-The Guardian "[A] surprisingly nuanced critique of contemporary culture."
-Washington City Paper "Funny and gleefully provocative."
-The Boston Phoenix "Beckerman ... manages to capture something essential about our generation."
-The Brown Daily Herald "It is tempting to cut and paste huge blockquotes of Beckerman brilliantly skewering ... but the choosing would be too difficult."
-Decibel Magazine "[F]unny, smart, and satirical..."
-Vol. 1 Brooklyn "[Y]ou won't be able to hold in your laughter..."
-The Oregon Daily Emerald "Endlessly surprising, totally original, and very powerful... Highly recommended."
-Joe Weisberg, creator of FX's The Americans
