Time and Again
I just finished Jack Finney's great 1971 novel, Time and Again. It is powerful, real, and tender. It is my first experience with time travel fiction. Apart from a little too much description, it ranks among the best American novels I've enjoyed.
Its richness reminded me of how constricted western fiction is, and why I chose to escape it after growing weary of the stylized ritual stories. Westerns did give me a living for a while, but I moved on, writing historical fiction, not all that different from time travel fiction, and that was where I found my literary home.
