Filmmakers, composers, and playwrights carefully author the time dimension of their work. The feeling of a pregnant pause and an accelerando comes from viewers' experience of passing time. Those mediums express a few hours’ evolving experience—what about days, months, years?

It depends upon what you mean by authored. Many books are intended to be read multiple times, and some are meant to be read ritualistically. This doesn’t always occur by explicit intention, but maybe by something orthogonal (eg the night before Christmas).
