Produktbeschreibung
In Dream Date, Jean McGarry observes the relationships between men and women and expresses the delicate boundary that separates real from ethereal states we drift in and out of each day. "Moon, June" is the story of a woman who has everything and passes her used clothes to a second woman, who has nothing. The latter discovers, to her horror, that clothes aren't all the two are sharing. In "Paris, " a woman seeks her wayward husband, and instead finds his mistress. An oversleeping husband in "The Secret of His Sleep" wakes up to everyday reality that contains, deep in its ordinary folds, a once-in-a-lifetime visitation. In these stories, the real world has suddenly been given the latitude and power of a dream. McGarry explores such dreams, and their solutions, which are so often fashioned with stunning logic and bring with them undreamed-of satisfactions.
