Hazards of Time Travel: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

An ingenious, dystopian novel of one young woman’s level of resistance against the constraints of the oppressive society, in the inventive creativity of Joyce Carol Oates

“Period travel” – and its own hazards-are produced literal in this amazing new novel when a recklessly idealistic woman dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (upcoming) world and is punished by being sent back with time to an area of North America – “Wainscotia, Wisconsin”-that existed eighty years before. Solid adrift with time with this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a span of “treatment”-but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains from the Wainscotia globe with results that are both devastating and liberating.

Arresting and visionary, Risks of your time Travel is both a book of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story which may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unpredicted novel so far.
