Sleek and suggestive . . . [Reality and Dreams] is so smart and seductive that you fail to notice how completely youve accepted a world gone utterly awry. Kirkus Reviews British film director Tom Richard won acclaim for his moments of pure creative inspiration. But when Richard is hospitalized after toppling from a crane during a shoot, he awakes not knowing what is real and what is notand with no idea who to trust. Soon his wife, children, and friends are all undergoing crises of their own, from the breakup of a marriage to the loss of a job. As Richard fights to regain his health and stay centered amid the swirling chaos of his personal life, he must also wrest control of his filmhis most prized pursuitfrom those who seek to take it away. Witty andengrossing, Reality and Dreams is a whiplash ride through the highs and lows of the creative process. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Muriel Spark including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the authors archive at the National Library of Scotland.

Exactly as you would expect from Muriel Spark: a dark frolic told in pithy, lucid prose. An exploration of the paradoxical connections between creativity and reality. As always with this author, never trust that things are as they appear. A short #audiobook (4 h 42 m) narrated with perfect pacing by Jenny Sterlin.
