That Piece of Time

The title of this newsletter comes from Claire Keegan. In an interview in The Guardian, she said:

“Because fiction is a temporal art, it’s based on time that’s irreversibly passing in one direction. And I think one of the things that makes reading possible, or pleasurable, is that everybody knows what a day is, whether you’re on a farm in Ireland or at the top of a building in Shanghai. It’s what makes translation possible. And one day we won’t get to the end of that day. And that piece of time between now and then is called our lives. And I think if you’re a fiction writer, you want to say something meaningful about that.”
