From Library Journal
Epel, a writer, dream researcher, radio talk-show host, and literary escort, has compiled interviews with 26 fiction authors she has chauffeured around San Francisco. She explores how these writers turn their dreams into art, how dreams affect their personal lives, and how their own questions about their dreams reveal their creative processes. A page-length biographical sketch and a photo precede each author's chapter. The monologs are often stream of consciousness and cover topics tangential to dreams but related to writing as well: e.g., Maya Angelou discusses overcoming writer's block; Sue Grafton describes plotting a mystery; and Stephen King examines symbolism. A fascinating work, but not a necessary purchase.
- Cathy Sabol, Northern Virginia Community Coll., Manassas
