Every Anxious Wave

"If you could go back in time and see any band play, whom would you choose? In Mo Daviau’s Every Anxious Wave, that question faces Karl, a former indie-rock star turned bar owner, and Lena, a Ph.D. candidate in astrophysics, after Karl finds a wormhole that leads to any yesterday of one’s choosing. Soon, though, time travel becomes less of a way to see old bands and more of a way to painfully revisit past relationships, departed relatives and buried traumas — not that it gets in the way of some serious music geekitude. Wise and witty, the book is a sci-fi romp about how our past can both hold us back and lift us up."
