bluepiano: All the events, all the characters, all the settings in the book unfold in time as it's normally perceived, yet their moments and years are erased.

Explicações
bluepiano: A book of un-bound pages, so the timeline differs with each reading. Saporta's intention was to suggest the importance of *when* events happen.

Explicações
spiphany: Not strictly a manipulation of time, but the effect is similar for the reader; it is told from the perspective of a protagonist who is unable to form memories.

Explicações
bluepiano: Ramuz plays with perspective by playing with language: in many of his books his changes tense unexpectedly, confusing the reader's sense of time.

Explicações
bluepiano: Much of it's enjoyable for one reading at least and the stories are by no means stock scientist-in-time-machine stuff.
