| In this retelling of "The Princess and the Pea" as a romance novel, the character of Quin starts out with some unusual characteristics for the love interest in that genre. He is a "mama's boy" and a "math nerd".
Presumably, before winning the affections of the heroine, he must break free of his mother's control. Having not read the book myself, I don't know whether his interests in math are also portrayed as a negative trait that must be overcome. If you have read this book and can comment on the portrayal of mathematics in it, please write to let me know! |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
