• One of New York magazine’s Best Comedy Books of 2023 • A lovable and heroic kitty must prevent climate “apawcalypse” in this wildly original, humorous science-fiction novel. 2040: Earth is dying. Brilliant inventor and elder millennial Dr. Tara Switcher tried to save the environment, but politicians banned her controversial technology. Now she’s waiting for the end with Blink, her sweetly optimistic brain-chipped feline. 2000: There’s still hope. Tara is a teenage activist who can’t persuade anybody of anything; her approach needs a less zealous vibe. (Blink isn’t born yet, but Tara listens to a lot of Blink-182.) The future Dr. Switcher discovers a way back to her stubborn younger self … and if she can’t alter the darkest timeline, then maybe Blink can. The Time Meowchine is a story of friendship across the multiverse that will leave readers purring. “[A]ctually a well constructed time-travel novel… It’s funny but poignant, ridiculous but bittersweet.” — Vulture “Somehow, it really works! Congrats to Marty on putting something very fun and very weird into the world.” —Kat Rosenfield, co-author (with Stan Lee) of A Trick of Light: Stan Lee’s Alliances Praise for Other Books by the Author: “[A] laugh-out-loud parody…” — USA Today “[H]ilarious…” — Yale Daily News “[F]unny…” — Kirkus Reviews “Beckerman attacks the hot-button issues with a hilariously irreverent humor that makes you squirm, ponder and laugh…” — PopMatters “[R]aucous…” — Booklist “Amusing, and often laugh-out-loud… Beckerman’s research is, to put it in very clear terms, exceptional.” — The **** Guardian “[A] surprisingly nuanced critique of contemporary culture.” — Washington City Paper “Beckerman … manages to capture something essential about our generation.” — The Brown Daily Herald “[F]unny, smart, and satirical…” — Vol. 1 Brooklyn “It is tempting to cut and paste huge blockquotes of Beckerman brilliantly skewering … but the choosing would be too difficult.” — Decibel Magazine “[Y]ou won’t be able to hold in your laughter…” — The Oregon Daily Emerald “Endlessly surprising, totally original, and very powerful… Highly recommended.” —Joe Weisberg, creator of FX’s The Americans
