POPSIf Only Literature Could Be a Cellphone-Free Zone Some writers are just rejecting modernity. M. J. Rose, whose books about reincarnation are the basis for a planned pilot on the Fox Network, intends to set her next book in 1948 in part so she can let missed connections and miscommunications simmer. “You miss a train in 1888 or even 1988, and have no way to contact the person waiting at the station on the other end,” she said. “He thinks you’ve changed your mind, been captured, weren’t able to escape.
