Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl
5.0
Thought provoking, heartbreaking, and stunningly beautiful Pessl has crafted another masterpiece. I loved Night Film and while Special Topics is much slower and more dense it did not disappoint.
Part thriller, part coming of age story the novel follows Blue Van Meer and her obsession with the death or her mysterious teacher friend Hannah Schneider. This premise leads to some truly wonderful quotes and talks about life. It's also one of the most ambitious styles of novel, as Pessl crafts the whole thing as a school curriculum. A must read, a must own.
