Hazards of Time Travel

<p><strong>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</strong> </p><p>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. </p><p>Arresting and visionary <em>Hazards of Time Travel </em> 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.</p>
