Enquanto é interrogado, ele descobre que seus sequestradores receberam um relatório secreto roubado da CIA contendo informação de que ele é um viajante do tempo e estão determinados a descobrir se aquilo é verdade. Os pensamentos de Lucky o levam de volta a quando foi capturado durante um roubo, e como devido às suas extraordinárias habilidades como ladrão de jóias, a CIA lhe deu uma chance: juntar-se a eles ou ir para a cadeia. Sem alternativa, ele entra para a CIA, mas com a condição de que seu amigo Mickey venha também. Ele se recorda de como a explosão danificou seriamente seu cérebro e visão, e quase o matou. Ao se recuperar de seus ferimentos, ele descobre que sua visão comprometida lhe permitiu ver as cortinas de luz, portões que cortam um buraco negro no próprio tempo."

The Oasis: A Novel (Neversink)
by Vivian Gornick Mary MccarthyA vicious and brilliant satire of human vanity from the author of the classic bestseller The Group.Long out of print, Mary McCarthy's second novel is a bitingly funny satire set in the early years of the Cold War about a group of writers, editors, and intellectuals who retreat to rural New England to found a hilltop utopia. With this group loosely divided into two factions---purists, led by the libertarian editor Macdougal Macdermott, and the realists, skeptics led by the smug Will Taub---the situation is ripe not only for disaster but for comedy, as reality clashes with their dreams of a perfect society.Though written as a roman à clef, McCarthy barely disguised her characters, including using her former lover Philip Rahv, founder of Partisan Review, as the model for Will Taub. As a result, the novel caused an absolute explosion of outrage among the literary elite of the day, who clearly recognized themselves among her all-too-accurate portraits. Rahv threatened a lawsuit to stop publication. Diana Trilling, Lionel Trilling's wife, called McCarthy a "thug." McCarthy's friend Dwight McDonald (Macdougal Macdermott) called it "vicious, malicious, and nasty."Never one to shy away from controversy, McCarthy's portrait of her generation had indeed drawn blood. But the brilliance of the novel has outlasted its first detonation and can now be enjoyed for its aphoritic, fearless dissection of the vanities of human endeavor.In an added bonus, the renowned essayist Vivian Gornick details in a moving introduction the importance of McCarthy's intellectual and artistic bravery, and how she influenced a generation of young writers and thinkers.From the Trade Paperback edition.
