His new novel imagines a time portal in a Maine diner that lets an English teacher go back to 1958 in an effort to stop Lee Harvey Oswald and—rewardingly for readers—also allows King to reflect on questions of memory, fate and free will as he richly evokes midcentury America. The past guards its secrets, this novel reminds us, and the horror behind the quotidian is time itself."<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 30, 2011 |title=10 Best Books of 2011 |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/11/books/10-best-books-of-2011.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105191319/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/11/books/10-best-books-of-2011.html |archive-date=January 5, 2012}}</ref>
