The Society of Reluctant Dreamers by José Eduardo Agualusa
While swimming in the clear blue waters of the Rainbow Hotel, Daniel Benchimol finds a waterproof camera, floating seemingly lost in the sea. The two meet, and Daniel becomes involved in a unusual dream experiment with a Brazilian neuroscientist, who's working with Moira on a machine to film and photograph peoples dreams.
Agualusa consistently treats Angolan history and identity with the lyrical experimentalism and unabashed weirdness of the surrealist.. he restores the vivifying potential of dreams as enablers of courage, conviction and transformation * The Arts Desk *
