Description
An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young womans resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society, from the inventive imagination of Joyce Carol Oates
Time travel and its hazardsare 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, Wisconsinthat existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of rehabilitationbut cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioningthe 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 Oatess most unexpected novel so far.
