Regarding Ducks and Universes is Neve Maslakovic’s first novel. Before that, she was busy writing technical papers and finishing her PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University’s STARLab (Space, Telecommunications and Radioscience Laboratory). She spent her early years speaking Serbian in the city of Belgrade, in what was then communist Yugoslavia. After stops along the way in London, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area, she has settled in the Twin Cities.

About Regarding Ducks and Universes: Felix Sayers wasn’t born when the Universe was split into two dual realities: Universe A and Universe B. And so, for most of his life in San Francisco A, he has had no reason to wonder about San Francisco B and the other reality that’s just a portal trip away. He’s content with his day job writing culinary instruction books and nighttime dream of penning an Agatha Christie-style mystery. But then, Felix discovers he’s a little older than he thought and that he has an “alter”—his double, running around in Universe B—and everything changes.
