- One of New York Magazine's Best Comedy Books of 2023 - "[A]ctually a well constructed time-travel novel... It's funny but poignant, ridiculous but bittersweet." -New York Magazine "Somehow, it really works! Congrats to Marty on putting something very fun and very weird into the world." -Kat Rosenfield, co-author (with Stan Lee) of A Trick of Light: Stan Lee's Alliances A lovable feline hero must prevent climate "apawcalypse" by disrupting the Y2K presidential election. 2040:Earth's in trouble. Brilliant inventor Dr. Tara Switcher, an elder millennial (like all millennials), tried to save the environment, but politicians banned her controversial technology. Now she's surviving day to day with Blink, her sweetly optimistic cyborg kitty. 2000:There's still hope. Tara is a punk-rock teenage activist who can't persuade anybody of anything ... until her zealous antics in Florida spoil everything for eco-friendly Vice President Al Gore. And for the rest of humanity. (Oops.) But can history be unwritten? Can hisstory be un-kitten? The future Dr. Switcher discovers a way back to her stubborn younger self ... and if she can't alter the darkest timeline, then maybe Blink can. The Time Meowchine is a heartfelt story of interspecies friendship across the multiverse (multifurse) that will leave readers purring. Praise for Other Books by the Author:"[A] laugh-out-loud parody..." -USA Today "[H]ilarious..." -Yale Daily News "[F]unny..." -Kirkus Reviews "Beckerman attacks the hot-button issues with a hilariously irreverent humor that makes you squirm, ponder and laugh..." -PopMatters "[R]aucous..." -Booklist "Amusing, and often laugh-out-loud...

Highly recommended." -Joe Weisberg, creator of FX's The Americans
