Recenzii

How can works of fiction help us ruminate on and answer questions about the nature of time and reality? Can fiction do philosophy? And how do games, specifically as they occur in fiction, contribute to philosophical understanding? Stefano Gualeni sets about answering these questions through demonstration. The Clouds first offers a novella centering on Carla, a Maltese professor of climate science who learns of a strange and unexplainable atmospheric phenomenon two weeks prior. As Carla searches for answers, she starts to question whether larger forces might be at play.

- Alex Fisher, University of Cambridge, UK
"Unhappening": what could possibly go wrong? The centrepiece of Stefano Gualeni's The Clouds is a formally inventive science fiction novella dramatising that theme with verve, humour and acute observation. The Clouds is an original book, unafraid to explore the boundaries of genre while providing striking refractions of contemporary debates around fiction and reality, mind and time.
- Ivan Callus, Professor of English, University of Malta, Malta
