Portland Dreaming: Eight Stories (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of stories, set in Portland, Oregon, explores the intersections of dream and reality, imagination and delusion. The cast of characters includes hotel concierges, cat lovers, a shoe salesman who discovers the portal to a parallel universe, a graphic novelist obsessed with finding the hottest chiles in town, and a plant of unusually powerful intelligence. Settings include the mysterious rooms of an historical apartment building, hiking trails in the Washington backcountry, and an unexpected flight over the West Hills. Together, the stories ask the question, how can we ever be sure what is truly real? But the answers they offer, like dreams themselves, are often difficult to untangle. Serious but comic at the same time, they take the reader to places he or she is likely to remember.
