A Gesture Through Time
Synopsis:
[A] novel for the new millennium. Deft and funny and wise, it examines authorship, narration, technology, love, and memory, and asks most playfully what it means to tell a story. Always inventing and bravely trying out new strategies, she puts most writers and their sorry pretenses of invention to shame. In the spirit of Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, A Gesture Through Time captures the relation of muse and amuse, taking the reader on a spirited, pleasure-filled journey.
-MAXINE CHERNOFF
A Gesture Through Time is a work of remarkable ingenuity. With the daring of a poet, Elizabeth Block splices an unexpected montage of elements to tell a story that is as intriguing and immediate as life itself. This meticulously written first novel by Block demonstrates her sophisticated skills as a writer and a vision that expands the possibilities for fiction.
