Exploring the intersection of narrative and complex concepts of space, this book challenges the traditional Newtonian view by examining how narratives can represent phenomena like black holes and quantum entanglement. Each chapter links the distortion of space in storytelling with historical issues of time, providing a thorough analysis that connects narratology, cultural theory, science fiction, and the study of place. The author delves into the implications of these "impossible" spaces on contemporary cultural discourse.
