Hazards of Time Travel, Hardcover/Joyce Carol Oates

Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Joyce Carol Oates An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young woman's resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society, from the inventive imagination of Joyce Carol Oates "Time travel" -- and its hazards--are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America -- "Wainscotia, Wisconsin"--that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of "rehabilitation"--but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating. Arresting and visionary, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates's most unexpected novel so far.  Review citations Library Journal Prepub Alert - pg. 57 - 06/15/2018Publishers Weekly - 09/03/2018Kirkus Reviews - 09/15/2018Booklist / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 22 - 09/15/2018Booklist / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 22 - 09/15/2018Booklist / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 22 - 09/15/2018Booklist / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 22 - 09/15/2018Booklist / Highly Recommended - pg. 22 - 09/15/2018
