About Time: 12 Short Stories by Jack Finney

From the celebrated author of Time and Again and From Time to Time, this collection brings together twelve captivating stories that explore the possibilities and paradoxes of time travel. Jack Finney's About Time delivers the same blend of imaginative storytelling and gentle humor that made his novels beloved classics of science fiction literature.

Stories of Escape and Discovery

Each story in this anthology follows protagonists who find themselves at odds with their present circumstances. These well-meaning characters seek escape through time travel, hoping to find something better in another era. While their journeys don't always unfold as expected, the destinations they reach often reveal unexpected truths about their dreams and desires.

Classic Time Travel Fiction

Jack Finney (1911-1995) established himself as a master of time travel narratives with Time and Again, and this collection showcases his continued exploration of temporal themes. His approach combines speculative concepts with relatable human emotions, creating stories that work both as science fiction and as character studies. The light comedy woven throughout these tales provides a counterbalance to the philosophical questions they raise about choice, regret, and possibility.

Perfect for Science Fiction Readers

This paperback edition from Atria Books offers an accessible entry point for new readers discovering Finney's work, while providing longtime fans another opportunity to experience his distinctive voice. The short story format makes this collection ideal for readers who appreciate quick, self-contained narratives that can be enjoyed in single sittings.

About Jack Finney

Jack Finney's literary career spanned decades and encompassed both thrillers and science fiction. Beyond his time travel novels, he authored Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which became a landmark work adapted multiple times for film. His ability to blend everyday settings with extraordinary circumstances created a unique style that influenced generations of speculative fiction writers.

About Time stands as a testament to Finney's skill in crafting stories that entertain while exploring deeper questions about human nature and the paths we choose—or wish we could choose—in life.

From the author of Time and Again and From Time to Time comes a collection of twelve moving stories featuring time travel.

About Time offers a delightful return to the world of time travel and light comedy that distinguished Jack Finney's all-time classic Time and Again. The protagonists of these twelve stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape--through time travel--doesn't always fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes, they can still find their dreams.
