Hourmaster is a novel about evil, the passage of time, and the dissolution of a society - France in the seventeenth century. In his palace in a city vanquished by the years, the Duke Gonzaga lives consumed by his deep boredom and his passion for young girls. Time passes as marked by the more than two hundred clocks situated throughout the palace. Needing a new hourmaster, Gonzaga employs Arturo to be the keeper of the palace's time-pieces. Arturo - called Gog - also becomes the Duke's friend and for a time alleviates Gonzaga's boredom as they share the nightly clock-keeping rounds. There seems to be the beginning of new life in the realm. But, for reasons the reader is to discover, doom settles like fog upon the Duke's domain and time stands still.

Scott Bradfield

"Hourmaster" is an ironically titled story about the fundamental human desire to control the uncontrollable -- forces like love, loneliness, vacancy and time.... "Hourmaster" is a fable without a moral that generates haunting images of precision-point clarity. -- Scott Bradfield, New York Times Book Review
