Abstract

In his novel Exchange Place published in 2012, Ciaran Carson draws upon the motif of the quest in order to weave an intricate web of threads that irresistibly attracts the reader into a world of make believe, which is perhaps the only one worth experiencing. This article will argue that in this work temporality is envisaged as composed of disjointed fragments that are so many anachronisms revealed through analogies, resemblances and correspondences.
