false <![CDATA[Time's Arrow]]> 23031 17 In [author: Martin Amis]'s [book: Time's Arrow], the reader experiences the life of one Tod Friendly in reverse. Starting with his death, he leaves the hospital, grows healthier and younger, returns to his work as a doctor, begins his relationships and affairs with stormy breakups, and ends them with gradual seductions. Narrated by a separately conscious voice within Friendly's mind who watches his life events re-fold as the reader does, it slowly becomes apparent that Friendly's life has been shaped by a dark secret in his past. 700149 book 29 9 1992 Time's Arrow total:1614|5:13|4:13|3:15|2:2|1:2| 1614 6112 2238 194 5 4 false false Sun Jan 20 18:55:14 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 16:46:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Sat May 19 08:24:13 -0700 2007 Sat May 19 08:24:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 20 06:08:23 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 06:18:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 12:31:39 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 31 07:25:57 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Mon Mar 30 17:35:57 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 17:37:36 -0700 2009
