Dirac (novel)
Dirac is a novel by Dietmar Dath from 2006.
content
Writer and journalist David Dalek and his friends - an artist, a computer programmer, a psychiatrist, a biochemist, and a housewife - face typical problems of their mid-thirties and they all struggle with their life plans. Dalek also wrestled with the life of the British Nobel Prize laureate Paul Dirac (1902–1984), "the great stranger to modern physics," about whom he is trying to write a book. In the course of the novel, these two narrative strands increasingly blur, the autobiographical episodes from Dalek's life and his portrait of a scientist.
The name of the protagonist, David Dalek, is a pseudonym of Dietmar Dath, under whom he published the novel The Hidden Constellation in 2007.
