‘It Had Something to do With the Telling
of Time’ uses fiction as a tool for exploring new ways of thinking about and
understanding space. In between language and image, fiction interweaves the
words of the author with the reader’s personal experience, allowing space to materialize
in the imagination.
A screenplay in seven acts, the book uses
descriptions of physical spaces extracted from a selection of seven novels.
Each act is a conversation between one of the fictional spaces and the narrator
or protagonist of the original story.
