The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer by Carol Hill
A cult classic from its first appearance, The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer is a rich and comic blend of physics, feminism, and political farce. A brilliant, philosophical, and athletic physicist, Amanda Jaworski is in training to be the first person to journey to Mars. With her magic cat, Schrodinger, Amanda goes on the ultimate space odyssey. She finds herself in a battle for her life and her planet with the greatest seductress of all, The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer, a being from forty million light years away.
"This book is in the running as a 'great American novel'; it's ambitious and strange, comparable to Pynchon's V or Heller's Catch-22, or, yes, even Moby Dick" -- Carolyn See - Los Angeles Times
