This one fell short for me. I had high expectations following How To Do Nothing, but this lacked its magic and rigour. Something felt off about it too, like connections weren’t always made and the vignettes sometimes felt out of touch or out of place.

I’m a big fan of Odell’s work. She’s consistently delivers extremely well researched explorations of ideas and concepts that loosely come together to create a meaningful whole. It’s hard to say what her books are or are not about exactly, but I walk away from them always feeling like I see the world with new eyes and a renewed spirt.
Saving Time is no different from her other works. This is a deep dive into the concept of time within societies and how we grapple with it as temporal beings. Along the way, Odell explores the ways culture has structured society around time, exploited time, and bought and sold the time of others. It also looks at the manifestation of time within nature and the built world. Ultimately, it challenges the reader to negotiate with time for themselves. This will awaken your soul if you’re an intellectual and curious type.
