Ilustration Toward Books Every Anxious Wave

Good guy Karl Bender is a thirty-something bar owner whose life lacks love and meaning. When he stumbles upon a time-travelling worm hole in his closet, Karl and his best friend Wayne develop a side business selling access to people who want to travel back in time to listen to their favorite bands. It's a pretty ingenious plan, until Karl, intending to send Wayne to 1980, transports him back to 980 instead. Though Wayne sends texts extolling the quality of life in tenth century "Mannahatta," Karl is distraught that he can't bring his friend back.

Enter brilliant, prickly, overweight astrophysicist, Lena Geduldig. Karl and Lena's connection is immediate. While they work on getting Wayne back, Karl and Lena fall in love -- with time travel, and each other. Unable to resist meddling with the past, Karl and Lena bounce around time. When Lena ultimately prevents her own long-ago rape, she alters the course of her life and threatens her future with Karl.

A high-spirited and engaging novel, Mo Daviau's EVERY ANXIOUS WAVE plays ball with the big questions of where we would go and who we would become if we could rewrite our pasts, as well as how to hold on to love across time.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Every Anxious Wave

3.5 stars. So this is the kind of person I am. On my way home from working a conference in Woodley Park, I got off the Red Line at Dupont Circle to get some empanadas. Left unchecked in Dupont Circle, I am going to wander into Kramerbooks because, well, hi. (I feel like Politics & Prose is considered the more acceptable answer to the question of favorite DC bookstore, but I gotta be honest I lean a little more towards Kramer because I love their layout and their brunch is

This relentlessly creative and fast-moving novel opens like a late-night rock-and-roll question: If you could time-travel to any concert in history, which one would you go to? In Every Anxious Wave, washed-up indie rocker Karl Bender discovers that his closet is the portal to a time-travel wormhole; with a simple laptop program he and his friend Wayne can transport travelers to any place and time they choose. The two guys start a booming business sending eager rock fans back to see their

Despite how its being pitched, this book IS NOT science fiction. Publishers take note: just because a books plot may contain events that couldnt happen in our current universe as we know it doesnt mean its an automatic candidate for the sci-fi shelf. In order to be sci-fi, there has to be some kind of explanation or exploration of the phenomenon being addressed (in this case, time travel). Simply having a character fall into a wormhole in his closet and following it up with a paragraph in which

4.5 starsHave you ever noticed that mixing romance and time travel often ends badly? And yet authors still toy with the idea. Fortunately one of them is first-time novelist Mo Daviau. She has written a quirky story that combines a whole litany of elements that practically guarantee a messy ending; love, time travel, over-the-hill rock stars, damaged hearts and even a cataclysmic asteroid event. What could possibly go wrong?And yet, somehow she pulls it off. Granted, the initial hook,

This book is often described as High Fidelity with time travel. This is an accurate description in so, so many ways, and a book that I fell in love with within the first twenty or so pages and just blew through until the end.Effectively, a guy finds a wormhole in the closet of his apartment. A former guitarist for a well-regarded and now-defunct indie rock band, he does what any music lover does and uses it to see old concerts. He quickly monetizes the wormhole, gets caught up in an issue with

this is a book with an irresistible hook: High Fidelity with time travel. that is the perfect opportunity for a joyful, if flimsy, romp full of pop culture references and fanboy/girl gushing and a little romance slapped on top because a book's gotta have one of those.* and it started out that way.it's got that same kind of bittersweet nostalgia as High Fidelity:Wayne and I shared that common affliction plaguing single men with limited prospects and self-destructive tendencies: we regarded our

1,5I can't believe I've managed to finish this book. I'm giving it two stars instead of one just because the cover is exeptional and the premise of "travelling back in time to see concerts" is what I would do if had access to time machine, honestly.The characters are horrible, every one of them, but especially the main ones, Karl and Lena. Oh God, what a whinigh bunch of people. They're unbearable, they don't think about anything they're doing (and every single thing they do is just so stupid
