| Summary | "You Don't Make Wine Like the Greeks Did" by David E. Fisher is a science fiction narrative written in the early 1960s. The book revolves around themes of time travel, identity, and the complexities of human relationships. The story unfolds primarily in the context of 1959 New York City and follows Dr. Victor Quink, a psychiatrist, who becomes entangled in the peculiar case of Donald Fairfield, a man who claims he and his wife, Mimi, have traveled from the future and are now facing issues related to memory and reality. The plot centers on Donald's desperate attempts to convince Dr. Quink to help his wife remember their past and return to their home time. The narrative balances surreal humor with serious themes, as Mimi reveals that she initially fell in love with Victor through her studies of his life and accomplishments—ultimately leading her to desire a life in the past, thereby causing tension and conflict with Donald. As the story unravels, it explores the nuances of their relationships, the implications of time travel, and the quest for belonging. The climax is marked by a tense confrontation when Donald brandishes a gun, forcing Victor and Mimi to navigate the chaotic intersection of love, memory, and existential decisions about their futures.
