In fiction, we can glide through time, which is fun — and terrifying. In Edan Lepucki’s “Time’s Mouth,” a time traveler forms a cult for pregnant women in the woods of Northern California, and Peng Shepherd’s “All This and More” imagines a reality TV show in which contestants can alter their lives and memories. Moderated by S. Kirk Walsh.
