Time is the Fire is the third novel in the New Utrecht Avenue trilogy and follows Theo Bratter in his wandering in time, place and mind after a loss of a loved one. This is the picaro of a Blakean mental traveller, full of absurd hilarity displaced by dark grief and even darker questioning of our mortalism. Death and the beloved mutual mysteries pursued in sequences of archetypal dream within the same gritty landscape of Get Ready to Run and Between Dog & Wolf, the first two novels in this trilogy.
