Impact?

Throughout the time spending analyzing Coupland’s Hey Nostradamus!, I found myself wondering about the character of Jason and his concept of time as he is constantly referring to it and how it seems to be slipping from his grip. For example, at the very start of the section, he mentions that it has now been over 10 years since Cheryl’s murder at the massacre yet he has not felt the time go by. What really captured my attention with regards to the character of Jason and his references to time was when he found himself in a foreign place a number of days following his last memory. Although I am not certain that this particular series of events has any certain importance to the story, it does allow the reader to see the impact, or lack thereof, of time on Jason following the massacre.
