“At one point they tried to calculate when time began, when exactly the earth had been created,” begins Time Shelter’s enigmatic narrator, who goes unnamed. “In the mid-seventeenth century, the Irish bishop Ussher calculated not only the exact year, but also a starting date: October 22, 4,004 years before Christ.” But for our narrator, time as he knows it begins when he meets Gaustine, a “vagrant in time” who has distanced his life from contemporary reality by reading old news, wearing tattered old clothes, and haunting the lost avenues of the twentieth century.

Challenging and insightful

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It provides a framework to explore memory, the relationship between time, experience and memory, and aging and loss of memory and recollection. Some very funny suggestions as well (what if God develops Alzheimers?). Along with exploration of loss and loneliness as those with whom we share a past pass away. The performance is more like a reporter reading the facts of a story, and some of the voicing isn’t great. The flat tone creates a feeling of objectivity in description of events, and I thought it suited the text.
