Changing the Past

by Thomas Berger
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

Changing the Past plays on the horror of having your wishes come true. It is a black comedy of the finest kind.
PRAISE
“Berger begins his latest novel by stating, “Not even God can change the past." But Berger the novelist can and does as he takes Walter Hunsicker, a mild-mannered copy editor, through several possible pasts for the newly invented Jack Kellog. Hunsicker/Kellog explores life as a real estate tycoon, a stand-up comedian, a popular author, and even a radio psychologist whose wife is elected president of the United States. These alternative lives, however, prove unsatisfactory. After desperately seeking to escape life, Hunsicker finally decides that it is best to accept his lot, even though it means watching his son die of AIDS. Berger has a real gift for using absurdity to reveal the core of our humanity. Those willing to spend a few hours in his Twilight Zone will come away the richer. Highly recommended."—Library Journal
