Seeking reviewers / interviewers.
Halvor Aakhus has made mathematics sexy. And cool. We're hoping to expand the cultural conversation of mathematics by finding people to review or discuss his book, and/or interview him for math, science or other websites and periodicals.
Aakhus’s debut novel, Book of Knut: A Novel by Knut Knudson, combines real math problems with paintings, musical scores and a wildly entertaining story. The book won the $10,000 Henfield Prize for its startling originality and humane intelligence.
In the story, a mathematician finds a novel (Book of Knut, a novel by Knut Knudson) written by her dead lover who transforms it into an annotated mathematical textbook, complete with homework problems. Learn more here: http://jadedibisproductions.com/KNUT.html
In addition to studying music composition at the prestigious Jacobs School of Music, Aakhus earned a B.A. in Mathematics (2006) and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Florida (2011).
This promises to be an important book — for literature and math. We’re publishing it in four editions: full-color illustrated, black-and-white illustrated, ebook and multimedia interactive complete with math quizzes. A book tour is planned, with visits to college math classes.
Please let me know if I may send you additional information.
Respectfully,
Debra Di Blasi
