Review:

?A mordant vision of the late 20th-century life in which families fall apart, the environment grows toxic and natural disasters abound - and yet redemption still remains a possibility? New York Times Book Review ?A startling debut... Minus Time moves with the edgy precision of a dream, one whose undercurrent of impending apocalypse invests even the most mundane actions with an aura of mystery and trepidation? Los Angeles Reader ?Bush has chosen a strange and remarkable metaphor for the chaos of modern life. What could better represent the fragmentation of the nuclear family than a mother who's in outer space? What better symbol for the anomie and aimlessness of 20-year olds than minus time, the period that's nothing but the lead up to something else?? Voice Literary Supplement
