How Soon is Now? Medieval Texts, Amateur Readers, and the Queerness of Time

(Duke University Press) This book critiques modernist temporal regimes through its exploration of queer ways of being in time and the potential queerness of time itself. The author focuses on medieval tales of asynchrony and on engagements with these medieval temporal worlds by amateur readers centuries later. Dinshaw is a professor of English, and social and cultural analysis at New York University.
