Sinopsis

Denis BellâÇÖs collection of short fictionáA Box of Dreamsácenters itself in the tradition ofáSpoonáRiver Anthology (minus the tombstones)áandáWinesburg, Ohio. A Box of Dreamsáis dark without a trace of cynicism: it invites empathy for even the least attractive of the characters, these protagonists commonly suffer from mangled memories, rightful guilt, and an inability to distinguish between delusion and reality, between past and present.áThe stories tease and tantalize: truth glimmers between the lines.áLouise Freshman BrownâÇÖs gorgeous images are haunting illuminations.á-Miriam N. Kotzin, author, Country Music,áSpuyten Duyvil Pressáá'Denis Bell and flash fiction represent a marriage made in Heaven. The two dozen short works in his collection, A Box of Dreams, show him working at the top of his game. In each, the readerâÇÖs mind is taken for a weird, wonderful walk thatâÇÖs by turns wryly humorous and darkly intriguing. Louise BrownâÇÖs illustrations lend just the right atmosphere for an absorbing read.'áá-Paul Blaney, Writer in Residence, RutgersáááááUniversity, author, The Anchoressáá'Each piece in Denis BellâÇÖs A Box of Dreams is a work of magic that moves steadily along, pulling you in, and not letting you go... The stories are by turns haunting, heartbreaking and funny, and they never fail to surprise... Blending the real with the surreal, these stories, more than anything else, get to the heart of our humanity, our vulnerabilities, and they do so in a way that represents the best in flash fiction.'á¡¡-Dennis Pahl, Long Island University, Editor áááááfor Confrontation Magazine
