Zoran Zivkovic weaves four mysterious encounters around philosophical questions at the core of human existence. Provocative and original, Time Gifts is a meditation on the nature of time and, especially, on the nature of those at its mercy.

It is not unusual for postmodern literature to give a poetic dimension to everything it touches, so there is nothing unusual about the author giving such a dimension to science fiction. What goes beyond the realm of expectation, however, is the ethical dimension of the poetic dimension, the ethical-poetic dimension of science fiction." —Letopis Matice Srpske"[T]his is sophisticated, philosophical fantasy of the highest order." —Interzone"Zivkovic writes with a light and unpretentious touch. . . . His tales are strangely stimulating, not so much for their philosophical insight as for their intimate appreciation of contemporary readers' experience of time and space." —Publishers Weekly
