Abstract
For more than a decade, a mural on an exposed wall of the Kunsthaus Tacheles
broadcast a question—or perhaps an existential sigh—over the streets of Berlin.
‘How Long is Now’ read the wall of the iconic art squat, which closed in 2012.
The question is one that Mathias Nilges’ How to Read a Moment asks and
answers through its study of the contemporary American Zeitroman, or time
novel.
