Comment on style/language

The language the author employs in crafting 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, is lyrical, poetic, and familiar at once. The author’s linguistic patterns, both amorphous and malleable, embody and enact the narrative structure and thematic interests of the novel. Just as Leila’s consciousness dismantles traditional notions of time and space, suggesting a fluidity between past and present, living and dead, so the narrative voice moves between physical experiences and realms, psychological and emotional terrains, with almost imperceptible ease and adaptability.
