Romanian author Mircea Cartarescu’s massive novel Blinding is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time – and I’m only 80 pages in. It’s a dream autobiography/family history, heavily influenced by scientific ideas and metaphors. The author described his thinking to Bookforum:
It is the point at which science is unified with poetry, with geography, with mathematics, with religion, with everything you can imagine. Three quarters of the books I read are scientific books. I’m very fond of the poetry you find in science. I read a lot about subatomic physics, biology, entomology, the physiology of the brain, and so on. I’ve always thought that being alive is a great gift, one that should be explored.
If you like science in poetry or literature, this book is worth checking out.
The Finch and Pea 
I love combining science and literature, SF etc. I write a lot of science based poetry and essays myself. I will definitely check this out.
Thank you!
One thing to be aware of is that it’s on the experimental end of the spectrum – it’s been called Pynchonesque, although in many ways it’s also very different from works like Gravity’s Rainbow. I love it, but some people hate stuff like that.
