Interesting Facts about Space: A Novel

Interesting Facts About Space is a darkly funny, heartfelt novel about anxiety, self-acceptance, and the messy beauty of being human.

The story follows Enid, a quirky young woman with a deep fascination for space and black holes—she can talk endlessly about cosmic phenomena but secretly harbors a bizarre phobia of bald men. When she’s not binging true crime podcasts, she juggles casual relationships with multiple women she meets through dating apps.

After the death of her estranged father, Enid tries to reconnect with her half-sisters, all while stumbling into her first serious romantic relationship. But as her emotional walls start to crumble, Enid becomes convinced that someone is following her. Her paranoia spirals, forcing her to confront an unsettling question: is there really a threat, or is the danger coming from within her own mind?

Both hilarious and deeply moving, the novel explores mental health, shame, grief, and connection, showing how vulnerability—and embracing our weirdest, most imperfect selves—can lead to healing. Ultimately, Interesting Facts About Space is a story about realizing that no matter how far we try to run, we can never escape the most complex universe of all: ourselves.
