DREAM BOX

About the Book

Dream Box is a collection of 161 short stories, anecdotes, dialogues, dreams, and reflections. All of the stories are fictional, but they are all based on real events. Dream Box is the first volume of a series that will ultimately comprise 1001 stories. The second volume is in the works, and should be available next year. Muriel Spark wrote “If I write it, it’s grammatical” and it applies to Dream Box. I write in a borrowed language, but I have made it my own. It is the way I express myself and the way I want to be heard. It remains the voice of a stranger, of a foreigner, with its fragility, idiosyncrasies, contradictions, and its own particular flavor.
