About this ebook
Atticus " Finch" Davani does not want to be an astronaut. He hates space, he hates the ship, and he strongly dislikes his fellow crew members. He makes that painfully clear in his letters to Aku, his corporate-assigned penpal back on Earth. Soon, Aku becomes much more than a penpal. But when the crew engage hyperdrive, Aku' s punctual letters start coming at random intervals, and Finch and his shipmates realize that time, for them, is moving all wrong. As everyone else' s penpals rapidly die of old age, Finch turns, heartbroken, to Aku; who, more than a century later, is still there. DEAR STUPID PENPAL is an entirely epistolary exploration of cosmic dread, the passing of time, and the lifelines we cling to against the vast endlessness of space.
