Baum Plan
Free Book - "Baum Plan"
by: John Kessel
Time travel yarns have been a science fiction staple since the early days of the genre,
but have worn a bit thin in recent years. Now John Kessel breathes new life into the
sub-genre with his latest novel. Corrupting Dr. Nice follows a pair of hapless lovers from
ancient Jerusalem to the 21st century in a deft homage to the 1941 Preston Sturges romantic comedy, The Lady Eve. Like Sturges, Kessel uses his deluded characters’ antics as a vehicle for wicked observations on media saturation, consumer culture, and postmodern looniness. . . . Corrupting Dr. Nice is suffused with gentle good humor. Kessel treats his characters with warmth and compassion even while he’s putting
them through the wringer.
