When single career girl Jo-Jo steps onto a zebra crossing and gets hit by a car, she awakes to find herself in 1963. The fashion, the music, her job, even her romantic life: everything is different. And then it happens three more times, and Jo-Jo finds herself living a completely new life in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court
A Connecticut Yankee is Mark Twain's most ambitious work, a tour de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as \"one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of our poor human race.\" The Yankee, suddenly transported from his native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to \"boss the whole country inside of three weeks.\" And so he does. Emerging as \"The Boss,\" he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot—with unexpected results.

Unnatural narratives in contemporary Chinese time travel fiction: patterns, values, and interpretive options
The first decade of the twenty-first century witnessed an upsurge and a flourishing of time travel fiction in China, which is physically, logically, and/or humanly impossible. The boom of this new narrative genre has been fueled in no small part by the so-called “postmodernist turn” coupled with the “historiographical turn”, to the degree that it is no longer possible to read it along the lines of traditional narrative theory. With contemporary Chinese time travel fiction as its central concern, this article pursues four major goals: (1) to uncover its dominant unnatural patterns and means of time travel, (2) to reveal its unnaturalness from such perspectives as metalepsis, prolepsis, self-contradictory narration, and multiperson narration, (3) to examine its consequences and values of being unnatural, and (4) to offer a way of naturalizing it by suggesting the intersection of unnatural narratology with ethical narratology.

Fluctuating Genres and the Emergence of New Voices from Within: The Uncanny of the Voyage through Time in Some Egyptian Narratives
Abstract
The Cultural Nahḍah age (Arab Renaissance) has represented, throughout the Arab world, the speculative axis on which to reflect on cultural modernity, inaugurating a process that, in some ways, is still ongoing. From a purely literary point of view, it has been characterized by the progress of new and increasingly varied genres. This article focuses on two works by Naǧīb Maḥfūẓ (1911-2006) and Muṣṭafà Maḥmūd (1921-2009). Both the writers use the narrative device of the voyage in Time that reveals the original commingling of realistic observations and dreamlike fantasies. In this way, the reader is encouraged to meditate on the presence of two principles that exist within modern Arabic literature: the hybrid character that fluctuates among more or less canonised genres, and the marginal nature of some works that were relegated to the margins by the academic environment. Neither represent limits, but rather supplementary qualities whose specificity in relation to the Arab world deserve to be investigated.
