Dxas is a novel by Daryl Bainbridge published in 2007. This coming-of-age story is written in the first person present and follows the narrator, James Aberdeen, through the transition between high school and university. During this careful evolution into adulthood, taking place over summer vacation, James ponders daily encounters and muses about the mysteries and ironies of life. While an astute observer, the narrator’s opinions are developed relative to the naivety of a new adult, ranging from the enigma of heavy petting to that of laymen quantum mechanics. The narrator’s character is juxtaposed by the personalities of his three close friends, each with different backgrounds and perspectives.
