The Daydreamer by Ian Mcewan
A delightful literary foray for adults and children alike, from the inexhaustible imagination of the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement."As far-fetched and funny as anything by Roald Dahl." --Vogue
In these seven exquisitely interlinked episodes, the grown-up protagonist Peter Fortune reveals the secret journeys, metamorphoses, and adventures of his childhood. Living somewhere between dream and reality, Peter experiences fantastical transformations: he swaps bodies with the wise old family cat; exchanges existences with a cranky infant; encounters a very bad doll who has come to life and is out for revenge; and rummages through a kitchen drawer filled with useless objects to discover some not-so-useless cream that actually makes people vanish. Finally, he wakes up as an eleven-year-old inside a grown-up body and embarks on the truly fantastic adventure of falling in love. Moving, dreamlike, and extraordinary, The Daydreamer marks yet another imaginative departure for Ian McEwan.
Ian McEwan is the bestselling author of sixteen books, including The Children Act, Sweet Tooth, Solar, which won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, On Chesil Beach, Saturday, and Atonement, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the W.H. Auden Award.
