Explorations Read-Aloud: “Bid Time Return / Somewhere in Time” by Richard Matheson

Every Friday, at 11:00 am, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction.

For March 27, Coté will read aloud from Richard Matheson’s Bid Time Return / Somewhere in Time.

Bid Time Return is the powerful story of a love that transcends time and space, written by one of the Grand Masters of modern fantasy.

Matheson’s classic novel tells the moving, romantic story of a modern man whose love for a woman he has never met draws him back in time to a luxury hotel in San Diego in 1896, where he finds his soul mate in the form of a celebrated actress of the previous century. 

The 1980 movie version of the book was titled Somewhere in Time and starred Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour; it remains a cult classic shown annually at planned gatherings of devotees.  Somewhere in Time was used for all subsequent editions of the book.
