Dot in the Universe by Lucy Ellmann is a darkly comic, thought-provoking novel about Dot, a woman disillusioned with life on Abalone Avenue, stuck with a cheating husband and a nagging sense of imperfection. When Dot decides to end it all, she discovers that death isn’t as simple as it seems. Witty, outrageous, and deeply satirical, this novel explores mortality, existential angst, and the absurdity of modern life. From the acclaimed author of Ducks, Newburyport, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2019, Dot in the Universe is both hilariously sharp and surprisingly tender.
