Plot

Trivia

• The working title for this novel was simply 'The Wedding Story' which ended up becoming its subtitle.

• Do I Dare Disturb The Universe? is a reference to a line from T.S. Elliot's poem, The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock, which was one of the literary inspirations for the novel due to its themes of isolation and connection, and postmodern writing style. Other major literary inspirations include The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. The Time Traveller's Wife in particular is the source of the nonlinear structure of the novel and discrete scenes jumping around the character's timelines and perspectives. Mrs Dalloway is often described as a story that contains 'A woman's life in one day, and in that day her whole life' and much like Do I Dare Disturb The Universe centres on the protagonist throwing an event, with events from the past explored amidst the descriptions of party planning and throwing.
