Store bookmark where the signing took place laid in. ".The Lost Time Accidents (2016), whose abiding Pynchonesque extravagance is media…ted through later authors like Nick Harkaway or Reif Larsen, sharing with them an Equipoisal balance - visible at the level of individual sentences and in the structuring of entire volumes - between self-ironizing farce and explosions of gravitas, also self-ironizing. The protagonist of the tale, caught in a kind of time stasis (see Time Distortion) at exactly 8:46 Eastern Standard Time, where he begins to inscribe the history of his family, a procedure vulnerable to Time Loops, subjective or real, and other twists in the nature of Time. In the kaleidoscopic unfolding of events and plots typical of much contemporary Fantastika, a Pariah Elite attempts to manipulate the world in its search for Secret Master lore. Various sf writers, including Algis Budrys, Orson Scott Card and Kurt Vonnegut, are homaged en passant. In the end a crazed world unpacks." [JC] Encyclopedia of SF, Internet. Signed by Author(s).
