Eneas Caro | 3 comments Hello,
I'm afraid this is a tough one, because I have little information.

At a symposium the other day, one of the readers mentioned a book about a girl who discovers that 1+1 does not equal 2, and that is the main line of the book. I know nothing else about it except that the author is asian, and his/her name sounds a lot like Ten Sian, or soemthing of the like.

It's a novel, for adults, and is related to the fantasy/science fiction genres.

Sorry, this is all I know about it. I'm very intrigued, can someone help??

This isn't a novel, but the plot and author name are similar.

This website has a description.

It is part of this collection:
Stories of Your Life and Others


Eneas Caro | 3 comments Yes! This is it! Thank you so much. I figured it was a novel because the person in question was talking about his favorite books.

Thank you, this was giving me a hard time!

Lou Rocama | 457 comments I figured there was probably an online list of math fiction somewhere. I'm surprised it was as complete as it was, tho.
