Subject: The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas

I have just finished reading this book that I found in the library and wondered if anyone else here has come across it. It is very hard to describe; maybe an adventure with a mix of philosophy, seediness and time travel included, very intelligent and thought provoking... I did say it was hard!
When Ariel uncovers a copy of The End of Mr Y in a second hand bookshop she can't believe her eyes. Its author, the eccentric Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, is the subject of her PhD studies and she knows that copies of this book are exceedingly rare...and some say cursed!
I found the book hard to put down anyway.
