Replay
Ken Grimwood's 1986 novel Replay introduces readers to Jeff Winston, a radio journalist who, upon his sudden death in 1988, discovers himself thrown back into his 18-year-old self in 1963. With memories of the subsequent years still intact, Jeff navigates his life anew, making different choices and experiencing the repercussions of his foreknowledge. When he crosses paths with another individual who seems to be undergoing the same mysterious phenomenon, their intertwined destinies offer a rich exploration of time, love, and the choices we make. Earning the 1988 World Fantasy Award and being shortlisted for the 1988 Arthur C. Clarke Award, Replay has established its place in literary history, drawing comparisons to the film Groundhog Day and being noted for its innovative exploration of time and choice.
