About Time's Arrow by Martin Amis
Published in 1991, Time's Arrow is a formally daring work of fiction centered on Tod T. Friendly, a doctor whose life and actions unfold in reverse. He dies and feels better, ends relationships before beginning them, and harms patients before sending them home.
As this backward-moving narrative approaches an appalling moment in modern history, the novel brings its speculative structure into direct relation with the Holocaust of 1939–1945. Readers interested in Holocaust fiction, experimental narrative, human identity, aging, and the unsettling possibilities of reversed time will find a compact, challenging work here.
