A Novel

Beschreibung

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 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 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.

Rezensionen

'A dystopian narrative in which the indomitable Oates seems to be flexing new muscles ... unrelentingly disturbing' Observer

'Joyce Carol Oates taps deep into contemporary anxieties over the rise of surveillance, totalitarian governments and invasive technology ... [she has an] unerring ability to reflect the times in which we live' Daily Mail

'Nothing is as it seems in this accelerating swirl of political and academic satire, science fiction and romantic melodrama. At 80, after more than 40 novels, Oates is still casting some awfully dark magic' Washington Post
