Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

?A mordant vision of the late 20th-century life in which families fall apart, the environment grows toxic and natural disasters abound - and yet redemption still remains a possibility? New York Times Book Review ?A startling debut... Minus Time moves with the edgy precision of a dream, one whose undercurrent of impending apocalypse invests even the most mundane actions with an aura of mystery and trepidation? Los Angeles Reader ?Bush has chosen a strange and remarkable metaphor for the chaos of modern life. What could better represent the fragmentation of the nuclear family than a mother who's in outer space? What better symbol for the anomie and aimlessness of 20-year olds than minus time, the period that's nothing but the lead up to something else?? Voice Literary Supplement

Reseña del editor:

What happens when your astronaut mother orbits the earth and your father rushes around the world on disaster relief missions? You can always join a terrorist animal rights group and chat with your mother via satellite. 20-year-old Helen, who watched a stand-in family take her and her brother?s place when they skipped their mother?s lift-off, is plagued by cynicism and doubt, yet she longs for direction. Her envisioning of, and growth into adult life is chronicled in Catherine Bush?s ultra-contemporary tale Minus Time.
