Time and Again

Time and Again
Jack Finney
Simon & Schuster
New York, 1970

While in New York I read Jack Finney's illustrated novel, Time and Again, which is set in Manhatten and features an artist who time travels between 1882 and 1960s. Back in London and still reading the book, I am transported back to NY in a similar fashion.

The illustrations are of NY scenes from the 1880s so doubly fascinating as a tourist. I managed to get hold of an OOP edition before the trip and it proved to be perfect reading material. On my last day I suddenly caught a glimpse the rooftop of one of its key locations, the Dakota building, across Central Park.

Finney is best known for his book, The Body Snatchers, made into the film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
