Produktbeschreibung

Homo Irrealis explores what time means to artists who cannot grasp life in the present. Irrealis moods are not about the present or the past or the future; they are about what might have been but never was but could in theory still happen. A deep reflection on the imagination's power to forge a zone outside of time's intractable hold.

"André Aciman is, quite simply, one of the finest essayists of the last hundred years." -Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Review of Books
