Summary
Julia Kristeva: The Magic Clock
The novel *Magic Clock* (The Magic Clock) is based on the story of the inventor and his work: Claude Simeon Pasman, a craftsman and scholar who constructed the astronomical clock of Louis XV, designed to measure time up to the year 9999. The characters in the novel are obsessed with that story. Julia Kristeva skilfully interweaves several narrative threads that connect the current, degraded state of France, Europe and the world - affected by violence, fanaticism, rigid identity politics, anti-intellectualism and a general decline in the quality of life - with the period before the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. The author actually deals with questions of subjectivity, time and identity, thus continuing her almost half-century interest in semiotics and psychoanalysis, but here in a fictional form. The "magic hour" becomes a metaphor for the moment in which past and present intertwine, revealing the fragile balance between reason and instinct, order and chaos. This ambitious, complex and innovative novel, which requires commitment from the reader, confirms that Julia Kristeva is not only a top theorist but also an exceptional writer.
