Time Is the Fire — Alfred Alcorn

Time Is The Fire recounts a day in the existence of Leopold Bloom O Boyle, chronophobe, travel writer, would-be novelist, and husband of the Reverend Annabel Chance. The day is September 8, 1992, and the place is Harvard Square and environs.  Like his namesake, Leo dips into and out of a stream of consciousness as he considers and reconsiders the most important decision of his life.
