Winter's Tale

One night in New York, a city under siege by snow, Peter Lake attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks it is empty, the daughter of the house is home... Thus begins the affair between this Irish burglar and Beverly Penn, a young girl dying of consumption. It is a love so powerful that Peter will be driven to stop time and bring back the dead; Winter's Tale is the story of that extraordinary journey.

HELPRIN, Mark

(1947-)
   US writer who served in the British Merchant Navy and the Israeli armed forces, experiences transmuted in A Dove of the East and Other Stories (coll 1975), which contains some fantasies. He is best known for his only genre work, Winter's Tale (1983), an epic fable set in an imaginary New York. The novel attempts to be a fantastic history of the city in the 20th century, celebrating the forces which gave birth to it, and catapulting it towards an ambiguously redemptive apocalypse at the end of the century. MH employs sf images and ideas (such as extraordinary MACHINES and TIME TRAVEL), but at heart the book remains a fairytale,concerned more with MAGIC than with science.

   Other works: Swan Lake (1989 chap), fantasy based on the ballet.
