Here’s this story’s intro from the book:
From the day I read my first novel, “Alice in Wonderland,†I was hooked through the bag on narrative. I systematically read my way through my classroom libraries, through the books at home, and finally through the school library and the local branch library. Somewhere along the way, I stumbled on T.D. Fitzgerald’s “Great Brain†memoirs, young-adult books that told the story of Fitzgerald’s childhood in Adenville, Utah at the turn of the century.
Fitzgerald’s wonderful and improbable tales of the pluckiness and cunning of his brothers and playmates stayed with me, and when I decided to write a novella about time-travel, it only seemed natural to revisit Fitzgerald’s small-town Utah, with its spirit of limitless possibility, of technological marvels hovering there on the brink, of a frontier freshly tamed and more frontiers opening ahead.
So: “A Place So Foreign.†It seems to me that time-travel would have a tendency to leak backwards, spinning out alternalities of ever-increasing anachronism and sophistication. 1975 and 1902 are two eras ripe for time-travellers to pitch their tents, time/places filled with boundless optimism for the future and a spirit of adventure.
