I came here to write a review of another book I recently finished, but soon realized that I never completed my round of reviews from my last library trip. My mother was right: I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached. <\/p>\n

Ah well. Better late than never, right? <\/p>\n

I alluded to this book in my review of Alan Lightman’s Ghost: A Novel.<\/a><\/em> Even though my initial excitement regarding Lightman diminished slightly from Einstein’s Dreams<\/a><\/em> to Ghost,<\/em> I was still enamored enough of his style and the way his mind processed ideas that I wanted to read more. Reunion<\/a><\/em> was the only other Lightman novel in stock at the local library, so I quickly added it to my stack. <\/p>\n

Yet again, I find myself visiting the concept\/complaint of the “well-worn trope.” There is no new thing under the sun and certain stories have been and will continue to be retold until the end of existence itself. One of these stories is that of time travel, of returning to a place, a person, a moment in our pasts and…what? Changing it? Reliving it? Erasing it? Cherishing it? <\/p>\n
