About this title

Review:

It is not unusual for postmodern literature to give a poetic dimension to everything it touches, so there is nothing unusual about the author giving such a dimension to science fiction. What goes beyond the realm of expectation, however, is the ethical dimension of the poetic dimension, the ethical-poetic dimension of science fiction." -Letopis Matice Srpske "[T]his is sophisticated, philosophical fantasy of the highest order." -Interzone "Zivkovic writes with a light and unpretentious touch. . . . His tales are strangely stimulating, not so much for their philosophical insight as for their intimate appreciation of contemporary readers' experience of time and space." -Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

A mysterious visitor comes to visit three desperate human beings and offers a unique but ambiguous time-gift to each of them. These encounters are woven round philosophical questions at the core of human existence.
