The Skin of Dreams
Author: Raymond QueneauPublisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681377705
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
In this delightful, cinema-inspired daydream of a novel, an identity-shifting protagonist uses the everyday inspirations of his life to catapult himself into the realm of imagination, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The Skin of Dreams is a novel of waking dreams. Even as he lives his life, Jacques L’Aumône, its hero, daydreams a hundred other possible lives. A few lines on a page, a chance encounter, a remark overheard in passing, any of these are enough to kick things into gear and send him off outside of himself to become a boxer, a general, a bishop, or a lord. He lives alongside his life with diligence and steadfastness; and the passage from real to dream is so natural for him that he no longer knows precisely which him he is. Eventually he becomes an actor in Hollywood, and the basis of countless dreams for others. This Jacques L’Aumône, like the characters who surround him, has the same sort of haunting and fluid consistency as someone that we might dream of in our beds at night. And reverie, here, is born through the tale’s humor, which is as gentle as it is cruel, as well as by way of a writing technique that is itself drawn from one of Queneau’s great loves, the cinema.

Book Description
Shred Wallaces Oblivion, Pynchons V, Leyners Sugar Frosted Nutsack* and Ouredniks Instant Propice. Gather in a 2 Gallon Ziploc Brand Freezer Bag. Shake, half-bake. And heres this subtly crusted bilingual English/French-Canadian novel entitled Kissing Number. Keywords? Sure! Pseudo-thermodynamics. Limerence. High finance as an art form. Cuban cattlehead refrigerators. Why you, the well-advised, polymath reader ought to spend hard-earned money on this book on the sole basis of self-proclaimed cross-references and a few keywords is beyond reason. To tell you the truth, youre currently holding a pure akratic object in your hands, yet reasonably priced at single-digit dollars and 99 cents. Good luck with that one. * This novel by Leyner isnt yet published as I go to press, the influence here being non-causal, making the two books entangled in a quantum mechanical sense. Cant wait to see how The Sugar Frosted Nutsack turns out as it will instantly determine the opposite content of KN. Exciting!!! Later note: Leyners book just came out a minute ago. Pure genius. Well, so much for this book! Put it back on the shelf, now.
