This article explores the relationship between the forms of time, the narrative structure and the ethical dimension of literary experience in the short-story Tianxia luan 天下 卵 (2012) written by the contemporary Chinese writer Feng Tang 冯唐 (1961–), by borrowing the definition of sideshadowing proposed by Morson. It will be discussed how Tianxia luan implies the presence of a peculiar sense of truth (zhenshi 真实) and proposes a variety of narrative techniques perfectly capable of representing time as ‘open’.

This article explores the relationship between the forms of time, the narrative structure and the ethical dimension of literary experience in the short-story Tianxia luan 天下 卵 (2012) written by the contemporary Chinese writer Feng Tang 冯唐 (1961–), by borrowing the definition of sideshadowing proposed by Morson. It will be discussed how Tianxia luan implies the presence of a peculiar sense of truth (zhenshi 真实) and proposes a variety of narrative techniques perfectly capable of representing time as ‘open’.
