ABSTRACT

To conclude many of the themes and connections of this book, I want to end in a rather unorthodox way – through a discussion of Audrey Niffenegger’s novel The Time Traveller’s Wife – which tells a complex story of two people attempting to connect: Clare and Henry. Their efforts to be together are constantly frustrated by Henry’s chrono-displacement, a genetic abnormality that endows him with the ability to be unwillingly transported through time and space.
