Growing up is hard enough without the added pressure of a hiccup in the fabric of space-time. Wally Roux is a teenage genius with a big imagination and a big heart, who just moved to Savannah, GA, from Maine with his mom, who adopted him when he was an infant. In this charming and sweet solo performance, Wally investigates what is causing a number of strange events and occurrences. He explores and gets lost within space-time--an infinite, indefinable, and mysterious void that you can't see but when you slice into it you can feel it. Part science fiction and part coming-of-age story, Wally Roux follows one boy's journey of self-discovery and self-identity. Playwright Nick Carr was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop Wally Roux, Quantum Mechanic. Note: Wally Roux contains adult language.… (mais)
I'd give the book 4 stars if it had been produced differently. But the sound effects were annoying and sometimes louder than the narration. The story was good, the narrator was great. There was just way too much NOISE there, too. Example: I do NOT need to hear the sound of someone chewing with their mouth open in order to envision the scene. I can picture that sound well enough in my head already, thank you. ( )
While there are plenty of sci fi elements to this novella, it is really a coming of age story about a young black boy who had been adopted by a white woman. Wally's mother has decided to move from Maine to Georgia when he was 13 so in addition to the normal pubescent anguish, he is dealing with a new environment both physically and socially.
It is unclear but I got the impression that Wally is on the autism spectrum - Asperberger's maybe... I would have liked a bit more about this aspect of things. ( )

The second of which is the extreme satisfaction I’m going to feel when he or she turns thirteen and I can finally tell them, “when I was your age, I didn’t take the bus to school, I walked nine miles there and back again, uphill, both ways;” and due to a slight warp in quantum physics, that statement will be factually true.

We drive past Madison Square, past the public school, past a bus painted to look like a trolley; the road ahead is as flat as a pancake.
