"How Soon Is Now? performs a powerful critique of modernist temporal regimes through
its revelatory exploration of queer ways of being in time as well as of the potential
queerness of time itself. Carolyn Dinshaw focuses on medieval tales of asynchrony
and on engagements with these medieval temporal worlds by amateur readers centuries
later. In doing so, she illuminates forms of desirous, embodied being that are out
of sync with ordinarily linear measurements of everyday life, that involve multiple
temporalities, that precipitate out of time altogether. Dinshaw claims the possibility
of a fuller, denser, more crowded now that theorists tell us is extant but that often
eludes our temporal grasp."--p. [4] of cover
