A little gem February 13, 2007

I just started reading a little gem of a book, The Time Traveler’s Wife. It relates to my very first post “Seeing, and being seen.” I love how Audrey Niffeneger, the author, explores a relationship disjointed by time. The chronological and achronological experience of the lovers augments their love and knowledge of each other despite the inherent difficulties of the time displacements. The narrative reveals “multifacets” of personhood superimposed upon the beloved as the characters interact at different ages and years. That concept of knowing someone outside the boundaries of time, which fascinated me in my first posting, continues to intrigue in this satisfying, lovely, and well-construed tale.
