The fiction of time is closely related to the time of fiction. Narratives that fictionalise time are representations of the fiction of temporality itself. Perhaps as an extension of this, narratives and temporality are interchangeable and exist as self-reflexive concepts, one defining the other, which in turn defines it back. In the absence of the fictionalising faculty, which is difficult to imagine, imagining the concept of time would be doubly difficult, if not impossible altogether. It is with this contention that an inquiry into the ideas of representations of time assumes the form of that particularly forceful conventionality of beginning, middle and end. It can be said that all narratives in this mode clearly present a representation of time. What differentiates that representation from the one I propose is the idea of multiplicity and indeterminacy of these concepts. That is to say that instead of a beginning, there are possibilities of several – if not innumerable – beginnings, and instead of the finality of an end, endings as potentialities. It remains to be examined what exactly the outcome of such a substitution achieves in terms of representation, but to begin with the beginnings, it is undoubtedly a more diffuse and flexible pool of possibilities (and one that perhaps lends itself to a wider margin of error on that account).
