	Andy's Anachronisms -- Time and Again by Jack Finney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Finney's eye for detail and his ability to weave historical fact seamlessly with his fiction will have you believing that Finney travelled through time himself to bring this tale to life.
		Finney expresses the inability of the average modern person to be able to think of the past as living and new.
		I wouldn't be surprised if this is a story that Finney had been nurturing for some time and that it bears the age of author and his reflection on the period of when he may have been closer to Simon's age.

		Finney also underscores one of his concepts of time travel that he later expanded upon in his novel Time and Again, that in order to travel to the past you must let go of the present.

	Jack Finney: Invasion of the Body Snatchers
		Finney tells the story from the viewpoint of Dr. Miles Bennett, one of the few people in town who does not succumb to the delusion.
		Finney’s world shows little technological advancement beyond what was available when the novel was written.
		Although Finney briefly covers the fate of Bennett’s friends Jack and Theodora Belicec, they disappear for a long time at the height of the action without any hint of their fate.

	Tech Tidbit -- January 2004
		The science behind the method is a little shaky--involving mental conditioning to prepare an individual to fully understand and live in another era combined with self-hypnosis--but it scarcely detracts from the delights of the book.
		Finney paints a vivid picture of life in New York City in 1882, a period he obviously relished and (one can assume from the sentimentality of his writing) in which he, himself, would have liked to live.
		Also delightful is Finney's account of a young woman from 1882 who Morley briefly brings back to1970 and her reactions to the technologies, fashions, and life-styles of the mid-20th century.

		Finney's Old New York is both magical and romanticized, a little like Mark Helprin's in Winter's Tale.
		It's an idealized version of New York, to be sure, and Finney doesn't tell us about the child labor, the rampant racism, the myriad of problems that were portrayed in Caleb Carr's The Alienist, for example.
		Finney wisely presents no new earth-shaking ideas here and only briefly touches on themes such as the paradox and angst associated with fooling around with the course of history.

		Finney's wordiness extends to the main story line as well; the first half of the book often plods where it should sparkle.
		Finney's careful research; he checked weather patterns, times of day for major events, etc. The romantic side of the tale is also interesting, so the reader gets a fabulous combination of fantasy, reality, romance, history and a nice group of illustrations, all in one package.
		Finney were still alive, so that I could congratulate him in person for having given us such an enjoyable book as Time and Again.
