THE LIVING SEA OF WAKING DREAMS: Richard Flanagan

The Living Sea of Waking Dreams

THE LIVING SEA OF WAKING DREAMS

by Richard Flanagan

How to describe the indescribable? The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is so of the moment, it is startling. It's about living and grieving, death and acceptance, our burning landscape and our vanishing selves. This book's concerns are as micro as a single family unit and as macro as all of humanity. I had to put it down several times to take a long walk and reflect on the emotions it brought up. Raw, vulnerable and beautiful, an Australian master at work.
