Line 1: {{work}} A classic time [[Time Travel]] novel written in 1970 by Jack Finney. Commercial artist Simon "Si" Morley is chosen as a candidate for a government experiment in [[Mental Time Travel]]. However, Si (through his girlfriend) has [[Born in the Wrong Century\|a personal stake in]] the time period in question, which leads him to take a trip back to the New York of the 1880s. Slow-paced, exceptionally well-researched intrigue follows as Si attempts to solve a nearly hundred-year-old-mystery. Much of the early part of the novel is devoted to [[Author Appeal\|the protagonist's]] lovingly created [[Nostalgia]] for the period, creating a definite mood for the setting. It helps that the Victorian Gothic Dakota Apartments received [[Retroactive Recognition]] due to this novel, becoming once again the home to high-class artistes such as [[John Lennon]]. Originated the [[High Concept\|interesting concept]] of going back in time via surrounding the protagonist with all the trappings of the Victorian or [[The Edwardian Era\|Edwardian Era]] and [[Your Mind Makes It Real\|imagining yourself]] to be [[~~Theres~~There's No Place Like Home\|back in time]]. Finney wrote a well-received sequel much later, ''From Time To Time'' (1995), before he died. Line 30: [[Category:Science Fiction Literature]] [[Category:Time and Again]] [[Category:Cult Classic]]
