“Time Shelter” starts off with an introduction to the eccentric character of “Gaustine”. A man who harbours grandeur ideas about the past and helping people with memory loss connect with the present by using the past as a medium, “a clinic of the past” if you will.
Though the book begins with the noble intentions of providing a respite to old people suffering from memory loss, it eventually proceeds to be a satirical comment on the society.
While reading this book one thing became clear to me, that this book is clever and a little too aware of its own premise. This is definitely one of the books I'll re-read.
Unfortunately, the open-ended conclusion, while reflecting the author's preference, left me looking for a more concrete resolution.
