“A Madmaid’s Tale” – Hazards of Time Travel by Joyce Carol Oates

"Picture the face of Elisabeth Moss. Do you see her as Betty from Mad Men? Or do you see her as June/Offred in The Handmaid's Tale? It might be, given that time has passed, given that one show is current and one show has ended, that you see her beneath the strange wimple, caught in that curious im/possible future. Imagine, then, for an instant, that there was a way of reviving Mad Men and doing a cross-over show, A Madmaid's Tale, if you will, in which June/Offred is spirited back in time to confront an alternate version of herself, Betty. That, kind of, is what Joyce Carol Oates is up to in her umpty-nineteenth novel, Hazards of Time Travel."
