"The Fount of Time is a gift—not only because is full of wisdoms, eccentricities, and curiosities, and not only because it does the magic work of evoking timelessness, but because it manifests dozens of interventions and entrances into the terrain of human experience. Because at any time, you can encounter a sentence that incites you to close the book, sit back, and—in Quignard’s brilliant company—think."
