Book Description
Dream On is a black comedy, a flashlight noir thriller, a meditation on the lives and stories that connect up the frayed wires in the business of living: of Digger Davies and his one cap for Wales and ultimately untimely death…and the award-winning photographer whose return home will become a quest for his own forgotten identity and compromised life…the thwarted politician in a hospital bed writing his own obituary…and a beautiful girl caught in time, alive in an old man’s memory…
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Carries an impressive deal of intensive research lightly . . . the portraiture throughout is graphic, richly detailed and subtly shaded.” —New Welsh Review
