Dreamscapes

A descendant of Kafka lives among us and his name is Ethan Goffman..

Ethan Goffman's Dreamscapes takes us on a surreal journey through worlds built of sand where "the only philosophy that makes any sense is utter uncertainty" and where the world is both "utterly transformed" and simultaneously "the same." Goffman processes the events of our time through dream material that is sometimes satirical, sometimes provocative, but always engaging. These vignettes dream "the world into existence" and take us to the "edge of the universe" where bicycle wheels melt, drip and leak "away into a crack in the pavement," where art disintegrates, and where vision allows us to peer into our minds and histories. This collection provides a thought-provoking escape from our current pandemic reality.
