Reviews

It is the most comprehensive work written on the topic. It is beautifully written, is a paradigm of precision and clarity, and engages the reader throughout. It is essential reading for anyone interested in either the meaphysics of time or of fiction. * Stuart Brock, Australasian Journal of Philosophy *
