Selden Edwards
A marvelous debut novel about love and basketball, time travel and rock 'n' roll. Thirty years in the writing, Selden Edwards' dazzling first novel is an irresistible triumph of the imagination.
Wheeler Burden - banking heir, philosopher, student of history, legend's son, rock idol, writer, lover, recluse, half-Jew, and Harvard baseball hero - one day finds himself wandering not in his hometown of San Francisco in 1988 but in a city and time he knows mysteriously well: Vienna, 1897. Before long, Wheeler acquires a mentor in Sigmund Freud, a bitter rival, a powerful crush on a luminous young woman, and encounters everyone from an eight-year-old Adolf Hitler to Mark Twain, as well as the young members of his own family.
Solving the riddle of Wheeler's dislocation in time will ultimately reveal nothing short of one eccentric family's unrivaled impact upon the course of human history.
Edwards brilliantly weaves romance, art, sci-fi, history, and culture in this unforgettable debut novel. A great YA listen for those looking for a true adventure!

Someone mentioned the audio being confusing, and I did not find that to be the case at all. Even though it was my second time through the story, it's been years, and I was able to understand what was happening and who was who very clearly.
Wonderful story, great to listen to

Also, the narrator uses an oddly toned and stilted voice when reading lines from the female main character...kind of breathy and contrived. I wish he'd kept to a more normal voice rather than trying to sound "feminine".
If you like historical fiction, you might enjoy this more than I did.
Interesting, but not entirely successful

I have listened to this book at least 5 times. I love the way the book keeps you vested in the story going back and forth with the characters. Be warned....you will need to take notes the first time you listen in order to keep the grandfather, father, and son straight in order of times they have come from.
Set at the end of the 1890’s in Vienna, the listener will also be transported to a time where so much was changing and so many influential people actually were.
