書籍簡介

文學 > 英國文學

"A sci-fi mystery novel, told by the fictional character, Chloe Chan. Professor Everywhere masquerades as an academic work written by Chloe, with footnotes and fictional bibliography. Chloe hears rumours about Professor Roland Crannus, idolised by students as the pinnacle of modern intellectualism; more myth than man. Desperate to know more, she follows the Professor into an academic labyrinth of clandestine mysteries and untold possibilities. Plunged into an otherworldly chess game of linguistics, anthropology and quantum theory, Chloe is quickly forced to question everything that she once thought true. Ten years on Professor Crannus is a household name, but much of what he did remains shrouded in cover-up and conspiracy. For the first time, Chloe Chan shares her story.“A cocktail of fantasy, philosophy and ingenious plotting”—James Kidd, Post Magazine, 17 May 2020."

作者簡介

Nicholas Binge

NICHOLAS BINGE is an author and educator currently living in Hong Kong. Born to British parents in Singapore, he has always had a close affinity with Asia. Most of his younger years were spent on the outskirts of Geneva in Switzerland, a country as different from Singapore as you could imagine. It was here that his love of literature really started, hiding under duvets late at night with a torch, enraptured by books that demanded not to be put down. After leaving school, he attended the University of Warwick for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies and soon found himself teaching English in the Midlands. After a couple of years teaching in the UK, he moved to Hong Kong in search of new opportunities and new challenges. He now lives in Hong Kong with his wife and child. He reads and writes every morning, even if many of those pages never see the light of day. He spends his days hoping to engender the same love of literature in his students that has burned in him ever since he was young. He is still never happier than when he is with a book.
