Time Again
Time Again is a game of autobiography: the author wanders through her own life; fiction mingles with reality, events that happened merge with those that could have happened, with those that would be nice to happen; “if I had a second chance, a second life, I would become…”
This book – the memoirs of someone who lived “a constellation of events” – is at times social history, at times literary criticism, and at times travel writing. “Sometimes, the first person, the narrator’s voice, seemingly guileless and innocent, is deceptive; a trick, a ruse, a deception. The author plays the game of biography, using a series of representations…”
Her work is characterized by the urban environment and the small battles people fight within it.
