| Summary | "The Right Time" by John Berryman is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The story primarily revolves around the themes of precognition and telekinesis within a Psi society, focusing on characters who possess psychic abilities and their adventures in navigating both personal and professional challenges. Centered on the complexities of prediction and healing, it explores what happens when one of the protagonists, Pheola, makes a significant prediction about a heart attack that may affect the Grand Master of their Lodge. In summary, the narrative follows Dr. Walter Bupp, also known as "Lefty," who discovers Pheola, a woman with the gift of prophecy and healing, during a trip to Nevada. As they navigate their evolving relationship, Pheola’s precognitive abilities are put to the test when she predicts a heart attack for the Lodge's Grand Master, Pete Maragon. Lefty finds himself balancing between his disbelief in Pheola's powers and the need to protect her as she undergoes training. Ultimately, they devise a plan to ensure that Maragon is treated in time for the heart attack, leading to a deeper understanding of her gifts and her acceptance into the Psi community. The story blends humor, suspense, and insight into human relationships while tackling the intersections of psychic phenomena and personal growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
