The format of Block Time simulates the fashioning of such a quilt. Whereas the narration satisfies the requisite five W's of reportage (who, what, why, when, where), the fabric's figurative designs go beyond the word. Their components - e.g., color and configuration - limn what is ineffable. Stitch together the twenty-five episodes and the twenty-five blocks and you will see the essence of a life. The accounts of hauling up drinking water in a pail from a well, of a red alert just shy of the DMZ, of narrowly losing one's virginity, of a perilous journey through America's most dangerous ghetto do interrelate. A quilt is made, the stories are told, and you have a delineation of a life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outskirts Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45414230622359,"sku":"9781977229465","price":3224.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781977229465.webp?v=1767919936","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/block-time-a-memoir-9781977229465","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
